Opposites Attract
Men are hard, women are soft
And that’s not just in bed
Without women
Men become cold, brittle, cruel
Start lookin’ for another guy to duel
Hard needs soft
And soft don’t mean weak
In this dictionary
It’s just another word for unique
Roles can be reversed
But not our nature
Yin and yang
Tears and toys
Flowers and monster trucks
What’s going on?
There’s fifteen per cent more blood flow in a woman’s brain
Women’s brains have more gray matter
Where information processing is done
The male brain is white matter dominant
Meaning more physical action
The male brain possesses fewer neural pathways
To and from the brain’s emotion centers
In one year, a woman can give birth once
In one year, a man can produce enough sperm
To impregnate every single woman on earth
If we gave this science lesson as a test
Everyone would fail it
Even if it were an open book test
Everyone would fail it
Because men and women have different answers
Yin and yang
Tears and toys
Flowers and monster trucks
Is it any wonder the divorce rate is through the roof?
That in most relationships, someone becomes aloof?
But if we see each other as who we actually are
Maybe our behavior won’t seem so bizarre
And we can hit a higher percentage of our shots
Cause we ought to be together
We’ve got to be together
Hard needs soft
And soft don’t mean weak
In this dictionary
It’s just another word for unique
