[Lyric] Contradiction (Ohio Players)

[Verse 1]
Contradictions (Contradictions)
To me it seems that's what life's all about, that's what life's all about
My convictions (My convictions, girl)
Are always keeping my poor soul in doubt, keeping my soul in doubt
My restrictions (My restrictions, honey)
Are always at war with all my needs, with all my needs
My intention's (My intention's, well)
To go through life and never bleed, contradictions

[Hook]
And now love and hate
Should try to negotiate
There's no time to wait
Do it now, don't delay
Put away all your fears
Don't believe the things you hear
Just keep the faith - don't hesitate
Someday you'll be great

[Verse 2]
Contributions
We all must give so that we can receive (Well)
The solution
Would be to never need (yeah)
A revolution (A revolution)
Is bound to change your constitution (bang bang honey child)
Retribution (Illusion) Confusion (Confusion)
Illusion (Institution) Diffusion (Dilution)
Contradiction
[Bridge]
If you won't change
You'll make me feel strange
And there will be a contradiction
And we won't have a chance to love

[Hook]
