Opposites Detract - Nate Rose

HOOK:

You and I

We’re not too alike

If opposites attract then by now I would have you wrapped up so tight

You and me

We’re not meant to be

It was like the moon and the stars

Didn’t fit into place on their own

On their own

It all goes

That’s something we all know

We all try to follow

But that’ll leave you hollow

Yeah (3x)

Not everything that’s shiny is gold

But that glossy lipstick sure tasted like it could hold

My thoughts till the morning, but a cup of tea’s enough

To let me know you’re not my cup of tea and I ain’t trying bluff

I mean I prolly make you blush

Just what I expected

When I run my fingers by your necklace

Undressing I’m building… all that tension

Pardon me for reminiscing but baby I got to mention that

HOOK:

You and I

We’re not too alike

If opposites attract then by now I would have you wrapped up so tight

You and me

We’re not meant to be

It was like the moon and the stars

Didn’t fit into place on their own

On their own

It all goes

That’s something we all know

We all try to follow

But that’ll leave you hollow

Yeah (3x)

BRIDGE:

I can’t love you (3x)

But I still like you

But I’m not like you

And see if I can’t love you (3x)

How can I wife you

I cannot wife you

And it would be so selfish

To keep it going

While I was knowing

Our relations were only growing

I got you hoping

That we were

That we were forever

But if the picture

Is never painted

How would you take it?

A book without many pages

Girl I can’t shake it

No no

I was only thinking about you

Stop and think about it

Now how could I lead you on

Knowing every day was a blessing

But everything bout it’s wrong

And by the time I gave you up

Was too late you were so in love

And your face when I broke it off

Bitter taste and a broken heart

For not calling it off before

Was I late?

was I such a dog?

For inviting you to my place

Getting naked and going off

I think about it often

Like

What could it have been like

What if we were friends like

What if I could spend

A little time to change your motives turn you something that would fit

Make you hot tea in the morning

Leave for work and blow a kiss

As I watch you getting started making breakfast for the kids

But if opposites attract then we might find our happiness

OUTRO:

But we don’t attract

And I don’t think we are too alike

I guess

Too alike, I guess

Too alike, I guess

Don’t attract

And I don’t think we are too alike

I guess

Too alike, I guess

Too alike, I guess
