Lyrics
Come on, boys
I say everyone needs love
And to love in return
But you say
You've got to change the world
Well that's alright
'cause I say
No one lives by bread
By bread alone
But you say
People got to have a home
That's what you say
But I say opposite attraction
Like magnetism or the pieces of a puzzle
It's a natural reaction
Now baby it's sick and I think that I'm in trouble
Now we're different as we can be
And the fit is pretty good it seems
We're so tight it wanna make you scream
But that's why opposites attract for real
Yeah, opposites attract for real
Now, you know me
I gotta speak my mind
No matter what the cause
Now you say
Boy, don't you leave me behind
That's what you say
You say
I say that love is all
It's all we need
I say
Oo girl, we're living in a world
A world so real
Now, opposite attraction
Though we keep trying there's an awful lot of distance
An emotional reaction
Now I'm taking my shot and I need to make a difference
Now we're different as we can be
And politics put you to sleep
I understand the pain you feel
Now it's sad the way this has to end
So baby can we still be friends?
And I know someday you will understand
