Playing Favorites
©2016 Brian Hazard (ASCAP)

Everyone has a favorite band
Favorite book, favorite film,
Favorite brand
Not me, I don’t believe in that
Hey, it’s true!
What are you laughing at?

Because I’m more than just a set of likes
Because I won’t get caught up in the hype
You go on ahead and spread your top ten list
As for me, I’m sure mine won’t be missed

Credit where credit is due
I’m playing favorites with you
A favorite perfume
A favorite dress
A favorite reason to be obsessed

There’s no accounting for my taste
When your aim is to claim it’s misplaced
Give me reasons instead of ranks
No more multiple choice
Fill those blanks!

You say you want to get to know me well
So if you want I’ll promise not to tell
I’m the one to spill your guilty pleasures to
This request is a test
Think it through

There’s one exception to every rule
To fall in love takes a certain sort of fool.
