--LYRICS--

[Verse 1]
I'm like a magnet
You're like a piece of wood
Can't get together
Don't make me feel so good

[Verse 2]
I'm like a convict
You're like the FBI
I ask for breakfast
You bring a piece of pie

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I know it's useless to say
How it used to be
Why do you treat me this way?
If you could only see

[Chorus]
You're like a magnet
I'm like a piece of steel
The way you break my will

[Verse 3]
I'm like a rowboat
You're like the Queen Mary
I play a tango
You play a symphony


[Pre-Chorus 2]
When we have a problem or two
Can't you see I'm tryin'
When I see you smilin' like that
Makes me change my mind

[Chorus]
You're like a magnet
I'm like a piece of steel
The way you break my will
