it's our differences
that make us diverse
and make us the same
you squeeze the toothpaste
from the back
and i squeeze the toothpaste
from the middle
i open a bag of chips
and eat out of the bag
you open a bag of chips
and pour them on a plate
i like to bite straight into a poptart
you nibble along the edges
i put my right shoe on first
you put your left on first
you double knot your laces
but i don't
you love coffee in the morning
and i like it at night
you hate the smell of coffee
but i love it
you like plain tastes
i like something sweeter and spicier
you always get chocolate ice cream
i always end up with vanilla
you like to nap
i like to watch tv
so i'll watch tv
and you'll nap
you like to watch basketball
(i like to play it)
i like to watch football
(you don't want to play it)
but we both like baseball
(and we both like to play it)
you like to dance for everyone
i only dance for you
and you like to go to fancy restaurants
i prefer fast food
it's our differences
that make us diverse
and it's our differences
that makes us one and the same
