[Verse 1]
Every girl is searching for that someone they can talk to
Someone who will open doors
And make the sun come shine through
Mr. Right, the one you trust, the one she'll give her heart too
He'll make her dreams come true
But every boy is searching for that someone they can play with
Have her over once a week said, "Baby, you're my favorite"
The girl that doesn't mind being a part of the rotation
She'll make his dreams come true
[Chorus]
Through squinted eyes (Oh, 'cause he's so shiny)
Blinded by (Oh, he said he liked me)
Oh, surprise (When we get our hearts broken blindfolded)
Oh, boys
This is not our choice
We can't help that opposites attract
But where's the fun in that?
For a hopeful, romantic kind of girl
[Verse 2]
I used to hold my pillow tight and every night I'd ask God
"Cupid, could you make some moves, and put me on the fast back?"
He'd call my name and take my breath and kiss me real romantic
I'd fall asleep with his smile
But every night he'd close his eyes
While flicking through the pages
Excited by the ladies, wasn't looking at the faces
Time went by, the sun came up, his passions never faded
He'd fall asleep with his smile
[Chorus]
Through squinted eyes (Oh, 'cause he's so shiny)
Blinded by (Oh, he said he liked me)
Oh, surprise (When we get our hearts broken blindfolded)
Oh, boys
This is not our choice
We can't help that opposites attract
But where's the fun in that?
For a hopeful, romantic kind of... boy
This is not our choice
We can't help that opposites attract
But where's the fun in that?
For a hopeful, romantic kind of girl
[Outro]
We can't help that opposites attract
But where's the fun in that?
For a hopeful, romantic kind of girl
