I like a bowl of collards You like brussel sprouts You have a taste for cognac Jim Beam just knocks me out You went to that big college I flunked the seventh grade We ain't got much in common Till we pull down the shades
CHORUS: THE ATTRACTION OVERCOMES THE WALLS BETWEEN US TO UNDERSTAND OUR BOND WON'T TAKE A GENIUS OUR LIVES ARE CONTRADICTIONS BUT THE FUN OUTWEIGHS THE FRICTION THE ATTRACTION OVERCOMES THE WALLS BETWEEN US
In our healthy love-hate thang Sometimes hell breaks loose But when the big moon rises We wave a flag of truce Our fussing's just a pastime Between the mountain peaks But by evening time we tangle And the making up is sweet
CHORUS
BRIDGE: It's natural to differ But the difference ain't too big We meet right in the middle When it's time to build a bridge
