You’re always cold I’m always hot
You’re always certain I’m often not
You’re always right I’m always wrong
You’re supposed to be weak I’m supposed to be strong
You’re always busy think I should be too
You say I’m a bear and belong in the zoo
Although we don’t ever seem to agree
I love you like crazy and I think you love me

I always choose what catches my eye
You check out everything two or three times
I go for red wine you opt for white
I prefer loose fit while you like ‘em tight
I wake up amorous you wake up surly
Later you’re glamorous and I’m hurly burly
Although we don’t ever seem to agree
I love you madly and I think you love me
I’m always laughing you’re kind of morose
I’m a man of few words you’re kind of verbose
You like the opera you love a good aria
I like the way they dance down in the Barrio
I’m open handed like to think I’m big hearted
A fool and his money you say soon will be parted
Although we don’t ever seem to agree
I love you madly and I think you love me

I love to walk in the rain and the wind
You think I’m crazy and you’d rather stay in
You like to map it out I like to wing it
You like to talk it through I like to sing it
I’m hot for Horowitz you’re sold on Rubinstein
You like Count Dracula I prefer Frankenstein
Although we don’t ever seem to agree
I love you honey and I think you love me

Cool and inventive take on the "opposites theme!'

What to say? Everything works. The entire production
well supports the cool lyric and vocal. Nice guitar work indeed.

Very enjoyable!
