Lyrics
Venus and Mars
(Chorus)
I count my lucky stars every time I gaze at you.
I'm Venus and I'm Mars. Opposites attract. We do.
We're so different and we love it.
You're so cool and you're so hot!
Nighttime finds us under th' blankets.
I'm Venus and I'm Mars.
(Turnaround)
I. Gonna be together every night.
Baby by my side. I feel alright.
He cuddles up real close. He holds me tight.
We can't stand to be outta each other's sight.
(Turnaround)
(Chorus)
I count my lucky stars every time I gaze at you.
I'm Venus and I'm Mars. Opposites attract. We do.
We're so different and we love it.
You're so cool and you're so hot!
Nighttime finds us under th' blankets.
I'm Venus and I'm Mars.
(Turnaround)
II. I will never leave him in th' dark.
He winks, so sexy. He warms my heart.
She tells me she loves me. We'll never part.
We are, you and I, a perfect match from th' start.
(Bridge)
Shooting stars! Shooting stars! Venus is gettin' it on with Mars.
Super stars! Super stars! Everyone's talkin' 'bout Venus and Mars.
(Turnaround)
