    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
