We're like summer and winter We're not one bit alike We're like satin and cinders I'm definitely not your type Well, then what are we doin' in love What are we doin' in a mess like this What are we doin' love Why were you someone I couldn't resist What are we doin' in love. We're like paper and matches Well probably have our share of fights We're like roses and switches It's gonna be hard but we've got to try Oh, what are we doin' in love What are we doin' in love in a mess like this What are we doin' in love What are we gonna tell all our friends You don't have to like someone to love someone That rule was made to be broken But if we have to say goodbye to a life we've gotten used to What are we doin' in love then. We're like sun up and sun down People say we're never gonna last We're like uptown and downtown You like it slow and I like it fast So what are we doin' love What are we doin' love in a mess like this What are we doin' love What are we gonna tell all our friends You don't have to like someone to love someone That rule was made to be broken But if we have to say goodbye to a life we've gotten used to What are we doin' love then.
