Nothing in Common
Mismatched Melodies: Exploring Love's Divergent Tunes
Lyrics
We've got nothin', got nothin' in common, just nothin' in common
We lack common interests or similarities.
My darling, at all
Addressing the partner affectionately but emphasizing the absence of common ground.
I love the opera, I detest the best pop
Expressing a preference for opera over popular music.
Can't stand the opera, I like music that bops
Disliking opera and preferring music with a lively beat.
We're not fated, not heaven-created
Stating that their connection is not predestined or heavenly ordained.
We're really mis-mated, our chances are small
Highlighting a mismatch in compatibility, with low chances of success.
Let's part, be real smart and not start with this romance
Suggesting a practical approach to end the romance before it starts.
'cause outside of both having stars in our eyes
Pointing out a shared characteristic of having dreams or aspirations.
And outside of sighing the same kind of sighs
Noting a commonality in expressing similar sighs.
We've got nothin' in common at all
Reiterating the lack of common ground in various aspects.
We've got nothin', got nothin' in common, just nothin' in common
Repeating the theme of having nothing in common and implying an inevitable end.
It never could last
Acknowledging the impossibility of a lasting relationship.
I love Picasso, he's all style and he's all flair
Expressing admiration for Picasso's artistic style.
I've seen Picasso and I think he's a square
Disagreeing with the partner's view on Picasso, suggesting a difference in artistic taste.
Our two goals are apart as the poles are
Highlighting significant differences and distance between their goals.
As lovers our roles are completely miscast
Describing their roles as lovers as completely mismatched.
Let's make a clean break and not take any chances
Advocating for a clean break to avoid taking any risks in the relationship.
'cause outside of thinking you're something divine
Acknowledging the partner's perceived divine qualities.
And outside of wanting your lips close to mine
Expressing a desire for physical closeness despite the overall lack of compatibility.
We've got nothin' in common
Reiterating the central theme of having nothing in common.
We've got nothin' in common at all
Emphasizing the absence of common ground in their relationship.
