Best Of Both Worlds Lyrics

Best Of Both Worlds,
That's what you want
All your own way,
That's not my way
And I won't share you,
I couldn't fare to
It's time for you to choose
Which one you'd rather loose
Could you love me,
And forget me
Are you sorry,
That you've met me?
What we've been through,
Means nothing to you I can't satisfy you

You want Best Of Both Worlds
Make your fickle mind up
I won't stay while you enjoy
Best of Both Worlds

I have loved you
Since I found you
You belong here,
Just look around you
Keep your true love,
Or take your new love
You must choose between us,
You want Best Of Both Worlds
Make your fickle mind up
I won't stay while you enjoy
Best Of Both Worlds

You've got to choose between us
You just can't have the two of us
Make your fickle mind up
I won't stay while you enjoy
Best of Both Worlds
Best of Both Worlds
Best of Both Worlds
Best of Both Worlds

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Boy meets girl. Girl meets new boy. Original boy throws a strop and tells her she can't have the best of both worlds. Then begs her to chose him, not new guy.

Hilarious and amazing way to insert the word “fickle” into a chorus while acting as a substitute for censoring a certain word I.e. “Make your fucking mind up”. The most universally common word used to express frustration. In this case, the singer is frustrated that the woman can’t make her mind up. There’s only one word that would immediately come to mind...the one you’re not supposed to say in a song Moreover, fickle has the same number of syllables and same alliterative qualities as…the word. Enjoy.
