When the curtain rose he was center stage
Collecting a crowd with his eyes
His common clothes showed no sign of age
Gave no indication of size
He began to speak with a face of fear
His words were a whisper of sound
Though the light was weak I could see the tear
That fell from his chin to the ground
He moved me, captivated me
He drew me into his world
He moved me, and persuaded me
I began to believe he was real
When the curtain fell people walked away
But I couldn't rise from my chair
And I couldn't tell, no I couldn't say
What held me so helplessly there
He moved me, captivated me
He drew me into his world
He moved me, and persuaded me
I began to believe he was real
And the memory will remain with me
And cling to my mind like a glue
Cause he made me feel and he made me see
A part of me I never knew
He moved me, captivated me
He drew me into his world
He moved me, and persuaded me
I began to believe
I began to believe
I began to believe he was real

You showed up on my doorstep
Like a long lost friend
I didn't wanna let you in
I didn't wanna get involved
I knew what it would lead to
Further up the road
I wanted to tell you "no!"
I wanted to tell you
Don't ask me to take another heartache on
I've got enough broken memories
And enough is enough for me
Don't ask me to take another poor stray in
I've got a menagerie
And enough is enough for me
You had to show those big brown eyes
And melt my heart
My defenses fell apart
Cast some sort of spell over me
You had to go and smile at me
Winning my trust
I knew that I never must
I should've just told you:
Don't ask me to take another heartache on
I've got enough broken memories
And enough is enough for me
Don't ask me to take another poor stray in
I've got a menagerie
And enough is enough
Everybody knows I'm tender-hearted
Don't look at me that way
Don't get me started
Don't ask me to take another heartache on
I've got enough broken memories
And enough is enough for me
Don't ask me to take another poor stray in
I've got a menagerie
And enough is enough for me

You save your money, I go in debt
You go on living, I can't forget
You've made your mind up, I haven't yet
We've got that opposite attraction
We're not alike, you and me
But I like you and me
Opposite attraction
You tend to follow, I'd rather lead
You watch the telly, I always read
You like to haggle, I just concede
We've got that opposite attraction
We're not alike, you and me
But I like you and me
Opposite attraction
You like the daytime, I love the night
You keep your head on, I get uptight
You use your left brain, I use my right
We've got that opposite attraction
We're not alike, you and me
But I like you and me
Opposite attraction
You love to chase me, I can't be caught
You buy me flowers, I can't be bought
But if you want me, then me you've got
We've got that opposite attraction
We're not alike, you and me
But I like you and me
Opposite attraction
