Yo La Tengo - Magnet Lyrics

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
