The List

Lyrics

[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
