Beautiful Contradiction

[Verse 1: Beverley Knight]
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

[Pre-Chorus: Beverley Knight]
Independent people with a different take on living
Now how did we become more than just good friends?

[Chorus: Beverley Knight & Musiq Soulchild]
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

[Post-Chorus: Beverley Knight]
Uh-huh, oh, ooh
Musiq Soulchild, yeah

[Verse 2: Musiq Soulchild]
You and I should be like oil and water but somehow we mix
Together and we make a very special blend, yeah
Every day we clash on politics, religion but we learned the
Art of how to kiss and make up in the end, yeah

[Pre-Chorus: Musiq Soulchild]
Sometimes I believe that we were born on different planets
Alien invasion of my heart and soul

[Chorus: Beverley Knight & Musiq Soulchild]
Baby, we make such a beautiful contradiction (Contradiction)
Together we are in no two ways the same
(We are in no two ways the same)
Baby, we make such a beautiful contradiction
And that's the very thing that sparks the flame
Baby, we make such a beautiful contradiction
Together we are in no two ways the same
Baby, we make such a beautiful contradiction (Contradiction)
And it's the very thing that sparks the flame
(Very thing that sparks the flame)

[Bridge: Beverley Knight, Musiq Soulchild, Both]
Said I'm realizing (I'm realizing)
You gotta lie, 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
(Make our little world go round)
That's what really makes us
That's how we learn

[Pre-Chorus: Beverley Knight]
Sometimes I believe that we were born on different planets
Alien invasion of my heart and soul

[Chorus: Beverley Knight & Musiq Soulchild]
Baby, we make such a beautiful contradiction (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
(It sparks the flame)
Baby, we make such a beautiful contradiction (Contradiction)
Together we are in no two ways the same
(We ain't the same)
Baby, we make such a beautiful contradiction
And it's the very thing that sparks the flame
(You know)
Baby, we make such a beautiful contradiction (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
