I take two steps forward, two steps back
When things go wrong we make corrections

Two steps forward, two steps back
Baby seems we never ever agree
I go to bed early and I party all night
Two steps forward, two steps back
I take things serious and you take 'em light
Two steps forward, two steps back
We come together 'cuz opposites attract
I take it easy baby, I get obsessed
We come together 'cuz opposites attract
We come together 'cuz opposites attract
We come together 'cuz opposites attract
We come together 'cuz opposites attract
'Cuz I move slowly and baby I'm fast
And you know it ain't fiction just a natural fact
I like it quiet and I love to shout

You know it baby, baby
I take two steps forward, I take two steps back

It ain't fiction you know it's a fact

But when we get together, we have nothin' but fun

Who'd a thought we could be lovers
With my home girl, Paula Abdul
Don't really matter 'cuz we're perfectly matched
Don't think we'll ever get our differences patched
Opposites, I said, “Opposites attract”
We come together 'cuz opposites attract
You like the movies and I like TV
Baby ain't it somethin' how we lasted this long
Swift and sly and I'm playing it cool
Our friends are sayin' we ain't gonna last
Things in common, there just ain't a one
And you know it ain't fiction just a natural fact
She makes the bed and he steals the covers
It's useless, opposites attract
But we seem to land on common ground
I take two steps forward, I take two steps back

Two steps back 'cuz opposites attract
You and me provin' everyone wrong
And you know it ain't fiction just a natural fact
Nothing in common but this trust

To keep things moving in the right direction
She's got the money and he's always broke
One going up, one coming down

We come together 'cuz opposites attract
We come together 'cuz opposites attract
We come together 'cuz opposites attract
And you know it ain't fiction just a natural fact
I'm like a minus, she's like a plus
But when we get together, it just all works out
She likes it neat and he makes a mess
We come together 'cuz opposites attract
I don't like cigarettes, I like to smoke
We come together, we go together
Try to fight it but I'm telling you Jack
