Lyrics

Uh, uh, like this, uh, uh, yeah
Mm, ah, yeah, mm, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah, hoh, hoh, hoh, hoh
La, la, mm, yeah
Mm, oh, ah, ah
Guess my mama knew exactly what she meant
The day she said, "Be careful what you wish for
It'll come to you"
Little did I know the day I met you
You would demonstrate
How everything in mama's words would ring so true
Independent people with a different take on living
Now, how did we become more than just good friends?
Baby, we make such a beautiful contradiction
Together we are in no two ways the same
Baby, we make such a beautiful contradiction
And it's the very thing that sparks the flame
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah-ha
Oh
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Musiq Soulchild
You and I should be like oil and water
But somehow we mix together
And we make a very special blend, yeah
Everyday we clash on politics, religion
But we learned the art of how to kiss
And make up in the end, yeah
Sometimes I beileve that we were born on different planets
(Sometimes)
Alien invasion of my heart and soul
(Baby, we make such a beautiful)
Yeah, contradiction
(Contradiction)
Together we are in no two ways the same
(You and I are no two ways the same)
(Baby, we make such a beautiful)
Contradiction
And it's the very thing that sparks the flame
(Yeah)
(Baby, we make such a beautiful)
Contradiction
Together we are in no two ways the same
No, no, no, no, no, no
(Baby, we make such a beautiful)
Contradiction
(Contradiction)
And it's the very thing that sparks the flame, yeah
(Very thing that sparks the flame)
So, I'm realisin'
(I'm realisin')
You gotta
You gotta cry
You gotta respect and feel somebody
You gotta fall
You gotta rise
To really
Understand the things that make this little world go round
(Understand the things that make our little world go round)
That's what really makes us
That's how we learn
(Hey)
Hey, yeah
(Yeah, baby)
Yeah
(Yeah, baby, oh)
Our love, baby
(I don't know)
I
Sometimes I believe that we were born on different planets
(Sometimes I, sometimes I)
Alien invasion of my heart and soul
(Heart and soul)
Baby, we make such a beautiful contradiction
(Contradiction)
Together we are in no two ways the same
(In no two ways the same)
No, no, no, no, no, no
(Baby, we make such a beautiful)
Contradiction
And it's the very thing that sparks the flame
(Very thing; it sparks the flame)
Baby, we make such a beautiful contradiction
(Contradiction)
Together we are in no two ways the same
(We are no, we are no)
Baby, we make such a beautiful contradiction
And it's the very thing that sparks the flame
(Very thing, you know)
(Lovin' you, baby)
Baby, we make such a beautiful contradiction
Together we are in no two ways the same
(Contradiction)
Baby, we make such a beautiful contradiction
(Beautiful)
And it's the very thing that sparks the flame
