"Favorites"

To a man
beauty is
not a competition:
we love you all
And I think
I could speak
for a lot of guys, but
I think I won't.
Let me say in this cold,
sexist world we live in
it would not be right
to pretend to ignore
all the opposites that
attract the likes

of all of the beautiful girls
all of the beautiful girls
of all of the beautiful girls
I play favorites just with her

I met her
at a pond
with a million fish when
we both fell in
then we saved
both our lives, it
was kind of fun and
it has not worn thin
I see girls, lovely girls,
all around me but I
just don't compare
I mean they don't compare, but
then neither do I - think that's fair

oh all of the beautiful girls
all of the beautiful girls
of all of the beautiful girls
I play favorites just with her

all of the beautiful birds
all of the beautiful bees
of all of the beautiful boys,
she plays favorites just with me

you can say you've got eyes just for only the one
you call your own
but strike me blind if it's wrong to appreciate all
God's creation
just pretend if you can that we live in a world
where love is free
then come back to this world, and
keep your hands off my girl
'cause she's with me.

oh all of the beautiful girls
all of the beautiful girls
of all of the beautiful girls
I play favorites just with her

all of the beautiful birds
all of the beautiful bees
of all of the beautiful boys,
she plays favorites,

just
with me.
