Opposites Attract (Tomorrow W/O Her) Lyrics by Kendrick Lamar

We hurt people that love us
Love people that hurt us
Hurt people that love us
Love people

I'm inspired
So get inspired

And so he said
Why you gotta be so kind hearted
Why you couldn't be a con artist
Why you couldn't, why you couldn't be mischievous
Or just a lil devious the moment that we first started
Why you never ask for nothing, just a lil time
Why you let me use yours cus I don't got mines
Why you always lift me up, when I'm completely giving up
Or when niggas holla what's up, you give a dry response
Why you giving me your last knowing you ain't got it
Why you always buy me something when you going shopping
Why you tell me that you love me
Why you always thinking of me when my company rather than going club hopping
Why you treatin' my momma like she your momma too
Why you making promises that you'll forever do
Whatever just to make me happy, wanting us to have a family
These are exactly the reasons why I cheat on you

Sometimes
We hurt people that love us
Love people that hurt us
Hurt people that love us
Love people that hurt us
Hurt people that love us
Love people that hurt us
Hurt people that love us
Love people that hurt us

Sometimes I, sometimes I feel we share
Nothing in common, it ain't fair
But where do we seem to fall
Where do we seem to fall
Tender love and care, once upon a time
Once upon a time, we was there

And so she said
Why you gotta be so mean to me
Why you don't know what you mean to me
Why you always playing games
Why I feel like you ashamed
Out in public curse me out and make a scenery
Why you got other bitches rolling their eyes at me
My text messages poppin up saying "Hi Daddy"
Why you treat me like I'm nothing
Why you always outta function
I be wanting to go out but you don't ever ask me
Why you slip and say her name when we having sex
Why you always assuming that I still love my ex
Every time we get into it I'm the one that's feeling stupid
You don't need me, you gon' leave me
That's ya favorite threat
Why you never know how it feel to be lonely
Why I feel I'm the last option after ya homies
Why you always gotta know that I will never let you go
Even though you get violent and put your hands on me

Sometimes
We hurt people that love us
Love people that hurt us
Hurt people that love us
Love people that hurt us
Hurt people that love us
Love people that hurt us
Hurt people that love us
Love people that hurt us

Sometimes I, sometimes I feel we share
Nothing in common, it ain't fair
But where do we seem to fall
Where do we seem to fall
Tender love and care, once upon a time
Once upon a time, we was there

[Outro: "She Says She Loves Me" by Lamont Carey]
She says she loves me. She says she loves me, so she clings to me even when I want to be left alone. But she's beautiful, like sometimes I have things on my mind, she's the perfect person to listen. And she only gives advice. She says she loves me, like when I wake up in the morning, shes sitting on the edge of the bed with a plate of food, wanting to feed me. She says she needs me, she says she loves me. Or like when I'm stepping out of the shower, she's standing there with the towel, wanting to, wanting to dry me off. She says, she says she loves me. So instead of admitting that she has made another mistake, she says she loves me... and I don't know about love.
