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
