The List

[Intro]
This is my favorite song
The list

[Verse 1]
When this song became my favorite song
I wrote the list, it sat on top
For weeks it pushed the others down, down
But I never reached the bottom of the list

[Refrain]
And I would cry and cry
'Cause it would lie and lie
And I would cry and cry
'Cause it would lie and lie

[Verse 2]
Fast forward one month
When this song became my favorite song
I wrote that list with it on top
For weeks it pushed my favorite song down
Second, third and fifth, but I never reached the end of that list
Time has torn that list to pieces, I know

[Refrain]
And I would cry and cry
'Cause it had lied and lied
And I would cry and cry
'Cause it had lied and lied

[Chorus]
Why did that song have to lie to me
Why couldn't it be just another
It was the wrong song as long as this went on
It was the wrong song as long as this went on
It was the wrong song as long as this went on
It was the wrong song as long as this went on
It was the wrong song as long as this went on
It was the wrong song as long as this went on
It was the wrong song as long as this went on
It was the wrong song as long as this went on
It was the wrong song as long as this went on

[Verse 3]
For years I put my faith in print
As if the truth could be discovered there
My list could hold my soul intact
Like paintings, like photographs

[Chorus]
Why did my song have to lie to me
Why couldn't it be just another
It was the wrong song as long as this went on
It was the wrong song as long as this went on
It was the wrong song as long as this went on
It was the wrong song as long as this went on
It was the wrong song as long as this went on

[Outro]
I never should have put my favorite song on the list
I never should have put my favorite song on the list
I never should have put my favorite song on the list
I never should have put my favorite song on the list
I never should have put my favorite song on the list
I never should have put my favorite song on the list
I never should have put my favorite song on the list
