Beautiful contradiction

[beverley knight]
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?

[chorus (both)]
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.

[musiq soulchild]
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

[chorus]

[beverley knight]
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.

[chorus]
