I love your smile, but you're not my kind,
If you're lookin' for trouble. that's just what we'll find.
I'm good for holding hands and maybe a kiss or two,
But when it gets to three, I'm no good for you.

We could be together, but when I've left, you'll know I'm right.
Opposites attract, but we're like day and night.
Love's the one word you still haven't heard.
We should nip this in the bud before someone gets hurt.

Ain't a-washin' your clothes or tyin' your shoes,
Don't give me that look like you're all confused.
You act like you're a player and I'm not into games,
But one thing is clear, you and me ain't the same.

We could be together, when I've left, you'll know I'm right.
Opposites attract, but we're like day and night.
Love's the one word you still haven't heard.
We should nip this in the bud before someone gets hurt.

You like the girl who likes diamond rings,
But I'm not that.
I'll be doing you a favor when I leave,
I won't be coming back.

The reasons that I have to go outweigh the ones to stay.
I hate to break your heart, let's call it a day.

We could be together, when I've left, you'll know I'm right.
Opposites attract, but we're like day and night.
Love's the one word you still haven't heard.
We should nip this in the bud before someone gets hurt.
We should nip this in the bud before someone gets hurt.
