I'm M.C. Kat on the rap so mic it

Here's a little story and you're sure to like it

Swift and sly and I'm playing it cool

With my homegirl, Paula Abdul



Baby seems we never ever agree

You like the movies

And I like T.V.

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

Cuz 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



[Chorus:]

I take--2 steps forward

I take--2 steps back

We come together

Cuz opposites attract

And you know--it ain't fiction

Just a natural fact

We come together

Cuz opposites attract



Who'd a 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

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

Just ain't a one

But when we get together

We have nothin' but fun



I take--2 steps forward

I take--2 steps back

We come together

Cuz opposites attract

And you know--it ain't fiction

Just a natural fact

We come together

Cuz opposites attract



[Repeat Chorus]



Baby ain't it somethin'

How we lasted this long

You and me

Provin' everyone wrong

Don't think we'll ever

Get our differences patched



Don't really matter

Cuz we're perfectly matched



[Repeat Chorus Twice]



[Sung in the "ShutUp & Dance" version and in the "Opposites Attract" Music Video]



Nothing in common but this trust

I'm like a minus, she's like a plus

One going up, one coming down

But we seem to land on common ground



When things go wrong we make corrections

To keep things moving in the right direction

Try to fight it but I'm telling you Jack

Its true- this- Opposites Attract
