opposite

Instrumental

Intro

Yeah… mm

You say you want one thing

But you always end up with the opposite

Funny how that works, right?

Let me explain. (Yuh)

Verse 1

You said you want a good girl, quiet, in the corner

Then why you textin' me at 2 AM like a performer?

I'm the opposite of everything you wrote down on your list

But every time I pull away, you swear you can't resist.

You like 'em sweet, I'm more espresso with a twist

You like 'em simple, I'm a riddle you can't miss

You said you hate the drama, but you show up for the show

So maybe opposite is just a word for what you really want, you know?

I ain't your type on paper, I'm the pen that wrote the page

I ain't your usual flavor, I'm the one that made you age

In a good way, in a real way, in a "stay up 'til it's light" way

You said you needed space, but you hold me tighter every midnight.

Interlude

Ooh,So why you lyin' to yourself, baby?

Opposite don't mean wrong, maybe

You spent your whole life tryna play it safe

And I'm the risk you finally wanna take.

Chorus

I'm the opposite of what you planned

But I'm the only one who understands

You don't want easy, you want real

So tell me how the opposite makes you feel.

I'm not your main thing on paper, no

But I'm the main thing when you're alone

So call me opposite, I'll wear it proud

At least I'm the one you think about out loud.

Verse 2

Okay, let me flip it, let me make it clear

You said you hate my attitude, but you stayin' here

You said you want a Sunday morning, calm and slow

But every Saturday night, I'm the one you choose to hold.

Like funny how the opposite becomes the habit

You tried to quit me twice, now I'm your favorite addict

You said you want a girl who never talks back

Now you're beggin' for a argument just to get the contact.

I'm the left you never knew you needed to turn right

I'm the match you didn't know would burn so bright

You said you like the shade, but you're chasin' all my light

So maybe opposite just means you finally got it right (mm)

Bridge

Look…

I know I ain't what you ordered from the menu

But every other option, you already been through

So why you scared to admit that different could be better?

Why you still tryna fit me inside a letter?

I'm the opposite of safe, but safe never held you

I'm the opposite of cold, but cold never felt you

You want control? That's cute, but look where that led you

Now you in my bed goin' through the things I text you.

Interlude

Ooh, So why you lyin' to yourself, baby? (Baby)

Opposite don't mean wrong, maybe (maybe)

You spent your whole life tryna play it safe

And I'm the risk you finally wanna take

Chorus

I'm the opposite of what you planned

But I'm the only one who understands (understands)

You don't want easy, you want real

So tell me how the opposite makes you feel (fee~ee~l)

I'm not your main thing on paper, no (no, no)

But I'm the main thing when you're alone

So call me opposite, I'll wear it proud

At least I'm the one you think about out loud. (Mm-oohhh-ohh)

Ooh

Outro

So call me opposite…

("call me what you want…")

I'll be the one you didn't see comin'

The one that made you feel somethin'

When everybody else was just nothin'.

("nothin'… yeah…")

You said you wanted predictable, look at you now

Chasin' the opposite around the house

Tell me, baby… does it taste different?

(does it?… mm…)

Or does it finally taste like home?

Fade out

"Opposite… mm… yeah…

I knew it."
