[Verse 1]
Now, I know that we
Don't always agree
'Cause you're an individual with your own thoughts just like me
[Pre-Chorus]
When our love song hits a sour note
And our romance sings a bit off-key (Yeah)
One kiss with some tenderness
Can assure us perfect harmony, oh (Yeah)
[Chorus]
Oh, our lips just seem to rhyme every time
Don't you know our lips just seem to rhyme every time, ooh ooh
Our lips rhyme every time
Make me feel alright, now, mmhmm
[Verse 2]
Now there have been some days (Some days)
That I have been amazed (Amazed)
How you ever put up with all my funny ways
[Pre-Chorus]
First one thing and then another
But you put up with the other me (Yeah)
Then our lips would meet
And sure create some sweet poetry, oh (Yeah)
[Chorus]
Our lips just seem to rhyme every time, ooh hoo
Our lips just seem to rhyme every time, ooh ooh
Don't you know our lips rhyme every time
Yeah, yeah, mmhmm
[Verse 3]
Are you supposed to be (Oh yeah)
A perfect man for me (Oh yeah)
According to all the rules of astrology (Oh yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
But there are times when the zodiac signs
Don't make our troubled minds relate (Yeah)
So we kiss and bring the bliss
That always seems to set the trouble straight (Yeah)
[Chorus]
'Cause our lips just seem to rhyme every time, oh oh
Our lips rhyme every time, ooh baby
Our lips rhyme every time
Make me feel alright, ooh baby
Oh, our lips just seem to rhyme every time
Don't you know our lips rhyme every time, ooh ooh
Our lips rhyme every time
Now, I know that we
Don't always agree
'Cause you're an individual with your own thoughts just like me
[Pre-Chorus]
When our love song hits a sour note
And our romance sings a bit off-key (Yeah)
One kiss with some tenderness
Can assure us perfect harmony, oh (Yeah)
[Chorus]
Oh, our lips just seem to rhyme every time
Don't you know our lips just seem to rhyme every time, ooh ooh
Our lips rhyme every time
Make me feel alright, now, mmhmm
