I like his smile but I see the devil in his eyes
He talks the talk and I can read the between the lines
I like the way he feels when he holds me in his arms
But there's a voice inside me sayin', girl don't go too far
Oh, these sweet contradictions, tearin' me apart
Do I listen to my mind or to my heart
Or do I state my convictions or look the other way?
What's the price I'll have to pay, someday?
Well, I'll be strong, no won't give in
I'll be good and then again
All these sweet contradictions
He's a kinda man my mama warned me about
I know he's trouble that ain't hard to figure out
But he's got something that just does it for me
I know I should be runnin' but I don't wanna leave
All these sweet contradictions, tearin' me apart
Do I listen to my mind or to my heart?
Do I state my convictions or look the other way?
What's the price I'll have to pay, someday?
Well, I'll be strong, no won't give in
I'll be good and then again
All these sweet contradictions
There's a battle goin' on, am I right or am I wrong?
Do I push my fears aside and take a chance tonight?
Oh, these sweet contradictions, tearin' me apart
Do I listen to my mind or to my heart?
Do I state my convictions or look the other way?
What's the price I'll have to pay, someday?
Well, I'll be strong, no won't give in
I'll be good and then again
All these sweet contradictions
Sweet contradictions, oh yeah
Sweet contradictions, oh, sweet contradiction
Oh, oh yeah, yeah
Sweet contradictions, yeah
