Magnet - Yo La Tengo

I’m like a magnet

You’re like a piece of wood

Can’t get together

Don’t make me feel too good

I’m like a convict

You’re like the FBI

I ask for breakfast

You bring a piece of pie

I know it’s useless to say

How it used to be

Why do you treat me this way

If you could only see

You’re like a magnet

I’m like a piece of steel

The way you break my will

I’m like a rowboat

You’re like the queen mary

I play a tango

You play a symphony

When you have a problem or two

Can’t you see I’m trying

When I see you smiling like that

Makes me change my mind

You’re like a magnet

I’m like a piece of steel

The way you break my will

You’re like a magnet

I’m like a piece of steel

The way you break my will
