"Opposites Attract" : used to say that people who are very

different from each other are often

attracted to each other
Baby seems we never
Ever agree
You like the movies
And I like TV

I take things serious

And you take 'em light
I go to bed early
And I party all night

Our friends are sayin'

We ain't gonna last
'Cause I move slowly
And baby I'm fast

I like it quiet
And I love to shout
But when we get together
It just all works out : a test of one's ability,
capacity, stamina, or suitability

I take two steps forward

I take two steps back
We come together
'Cause opposites attract
And you know, it ain't fiction
Just a natural fact
We come together : to join or meet
'Cause opposites attract

Who would've thought

We could be lovers
She makes the bed
And he steals the covers

She likes it neat

And he makes a mess
I take it easy : to relax and avoid hard work or
strain
Baby I get obsessed

She's got the money

And he's always broke
I don't like cigarettes
And I like to smoke

Things in common?
There just ain't a one
But when we get together
We have nothin' but fun

information.
I take two steps back : to stop doing something or
being actively involved in something for a time so in order to
think about it and make decisions in a calm and reasonable way
