Beautiful Contradiction  

 

  

(feat. Musiq Soulchild)   





 [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]
