Beautiful Contradiction

Guess my Mama knew exactly what she meant the day she said

"Be careful what you wish for it will 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.

You and I should be like oil and water

but somehow we mix together and we make a very special blend

Every day we clash on politics, religion,

but we learned the art of how to kiss and make up in the end yeah.

Sometimes I believe that we were born on different planets

Alien invasion of my heart and soul

I realise it, you learn, 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.

That's what really makes us, that's how we learn.

Sometimes I believe that we were born on different planets

Alien invasion of my heart and soul.
