Lyrics of 'P&P' by Offbeat

My name’s Pain
And my name’s Pleasure
We hate each other but we go hand in hand together
Total opposites even though we’re twin brothers
But you can’t have one of us without the other

My name’s Pleasure
And my name’s Pain
Two different sides of a coin that’s the same
You can’t have him without me in the frame
But you know what they say, no Pain no gain

So you wanna lose some weight and you bought a gym pass
It seemed like a great idea but that moment’s since passed
Coz now it’s Monday morning and your phone’s buzzing
So do us both a favour and just hit the snooze button

Look I know right now it seems like the worst fate
But try and remember why you signed up in the first place
You’ve got a goal that you want to achieve
So on the count of three take off these sheets and jump to your feet

Please, are you telling me you wanna leave this sweet bed
To frequent a place full of meat heads who leak sweat?
Just go tomorrow instead, forget it all for now
Everybody knows it’s only the thought that counts

I promise if you go, in one hour’s time
You’ll be wondering why you were putting up such a fight
Oh, I was right? I know it’s a sure thing
Coz have the same conversation every morning

So now you’re in a coffee shop, and opposite you spot
A hottie with a your favourite novel that she’s flicking through a copy of
Now obviously you want to try and find a way to talk
You’ve got the perfect opportunity so what you waiting for?

Er, maybe the fact that she may think that you’re crazy or
Some sort of maniac stalker who likes to break the law?
No normal dude chats to girls in broad day light
She’ll probably scream “Help! Someone save me from this strange guy!”

I think we both know that’s an exaggeration
Dismiss what this dude says it’s just in your imagination
Look she’s getting up to leave, you better start stepping fast
It’s not like anybody ever gets a Second Chance

This is never gonna work but then that’s nothing new
Oh she went for it? Lucky you, it’s probably just a fluke
I’m gonna leave but I’ll be back soon believe me
Coz the more you want something then the more you’re gonna see me

So you wanna write a new song, great let’s get it penned
Me and Creativity are the best of friends
You know that it’s your main passion and your calling in life
So just get started and I’m sure that you’ll be scrawling all night

But hasn’t it been a while since you wrote your last song?
Aren’t you worried that the talent you had is all gone?
Let me give you some excuses to leave it a little longer
Coz every day you do that makes me a bit stronger

But Pain, you need this guy to write raps
Oh really Pleasure please, explain to me why’s that?

Coz if you do succeed and convince him to quit
Then this whole tune and me and you will cease to exist
So in the interest of survival I suggest
That you show some more support, after all we’re only guests

Yes, I guess you’re right this time but I’ll be back
Waiting for you before you start your next track
