opposite Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, so you do have a type and it's not me
Oh, so you can reply, just to not me
If you wanted brown eyes
I coulda got contacts
So y'all are in Paris now, guess it's public
Face like that other girl you're in love with
You knew I would see that
You knew I would notice

[Chorus]
She looks nothing like me
Can't really tell, should I be
Tryna take it as a compliment?
It's kinda feelin' like the opposite
She looks nothing like me
So why do you look so happy?
Now I think I get the cause of it
You were holdin' out to find the opposite

[Post-Chorus]
And I know now
Even if I tried to change
That somehow
You'd end up with her anyway
Oh, I know now
Even if I tried to change
That somehow
You'd end up with her anyway

[Verse 2]
Does she say nothin' so you feel good?
Does she step out the spotlight so you bathe in it?
Does she get up on top of you more than I would?
Does she just love the picture 'cause you're paintin' it? (Mm)
I care, but I don't
Just wonderin', when you (When you)
Said I'm beautiful
Was I bein' lied to?

[Chorus]
She looks nothing like me
Can't really tell, should I be
Tryna take it as a compliment?
It's kinda feelin' like the opposite
She looks nothing like me
So why do you look so happy?
Now I think I get the cause of it
You were holdin' out to find the opposite

[Post-Chorus]
And I know now
Even if I tried to change (Even if I tried to change)
That somehow
You'd end up with her anyway
Oh, I know now
Even if I tried to change
That somehow (Somehow)
You'd end up with her anyway (You'd end up with her anyway)

[Outro]
End up with her anyway

About

This song bio is unreviewed

On “opposite”, Carpenter sings about a ex that she cared about, and even contemplated changing her appearance to be a guy’s dream girl, but it wouldn’t have worked, because he always wanted someone else. She now realizes that she wasn’t this guy’s type, and he was biding time with her until he got the girl he wanted. The track was teased in an email Carpenter sent to her fans which she titled, announcements i can’t make. In the email there was a folder, and when you clicked on it, it took you to a page where there was a teaser for this song.
