Best Of Both Worlds
Robert Palmer Lyrics

We want the best of both worlds
We desire the perfect combination of the two ideal options before us.

We want it slow and hot
We prefer a leisurely and sensual pace for our experience.

We like to taste revenge, yeah
Certain vindictive pleasures are tempting to our palate.

But we can't waste the shot
Yet we must be efficient and effective in carrying out our desires.

We want to see from both sides
We seek a comprehensive understanding of both aspects present here.

We like it cool and fast
We also are drawn to a brisk and efficient approach.

We want to get it over
We wish to not prolong the experience unnecessarily.

We like to make it last
Yet we also want to derive maximum pleasure from it over an extended period.

Keep it on
Let us continue in the current direction.

It's getting closer
Our desired outcome is drawing nearer.

The best of both worlds
We seek to achieve the perfect balance of our desired experiences and outcomes.

Double fun
Our enjoyment will be exponentially increased if we can have both.

We'll make the most, girl
We will extract the maximum benefit from the situation, my dear.

To get the best of both worlds
In order to achieve our ideal outcome of attaining both pleasures simultaneously,

We must obey the law
We must be mindful of the legal and societal norms.

What good's a place to stand up
What is the point of having a stable foundation to begin with,

Without a place to fall?
If one cannot also entertain some risk and excitement in life?

Two and one
We want to experience both diverse pleasures at the same time.

Fast and slow girl
We require a mixture of swift and unhurried movements to derive the maximum enjoyment.

Tight as a drum, loose as a gun holster
We want to be able to switch between being rigid and flexible as per the need.

I think about the war that is no fight at all
I contemplate the conflicts that are only mental and do not require any physical struggle.

I think about the peace that is a fight for all
I consider how achieving tranquility and harmony often necessitates a lot of hard work and effort.

Back and forth
We want to sway between the two pleasures interchangeably.

We get the most
We obtain the maximum benefit when we can avail of both the pleasures simultaneously.

South and north
Our ideal outcome requires borrowing some aspects of one extreme and some from the other.

Double fun
Our happiness increases manifold if we get to enjoy both pleasures at the same time.

We'll make the most girl to get the best of both worlds
We are ready to make an extra effort to extract the maximum benefit from this situation and achieve the ideal outcome.
