More Than a Favorite

Vibe: Upbeat R&B / Neo-Soul

Tempo: 95 BPM (Steady, head-nodding groove)

(Heavy bass kicks in, light finger snaps, muffled laugh)

Yeah...

You always do this.

Listen.

I’m standing by the mirror, checking every line

Thinking 'bout the way you look at me all the time

I made a little joke, felt a little bit small

Said, "Is this the only part of me you love at all?"

I was fishing for a reason, looking for a sign

But you caught the line and took your sweet time.

You stepped closer, slowed down the air

Ran your fingers through my hair

You saw the doubt inside my eyes

Then you gave me that look, no surprise.

You said, "Baby, I like a lot of things about you"

(I like a lot of things)

"Don't you ever think my love is divided in two"

It’s not the only thing, girl, let’s get it straight

It’s just the one that carries all the weight

Yeah, it’s just my favorite thing...

My favorite thing about you.

Now I’m blushing in the kitchen, trying to play it cool

You make me feel like a girl back in school

From the way I talk to the way I think

You’re pouring out the love 'til I’m on the brink

You listed off a dozen things I never even knew

But you came back to the one that pulls you through.

(Music strips back to just bass and snaps)

It’s the way I laugh? (Maybe)

The way I move? (Could be)

Whatever it is, it’s got that groove

You said, "I love the whole book, every single page

But this one chapter? It’s center stage."

(Keep it melodic and bright)

"I like a lot of things about you"

(I like a lot of things)

"Don't you ever think my love is divided in two"

It’s not the only thing, girl, let’s get it straight

It’s just the one that carries all the weight

Yeah, it’s just my favorite thing...

My favorite thing about you.

My favorite...

Yeah, you got your favorites.

And I’m glad I’m one of 'em.

(Fade out with ad-libs)

A lot of things... so many things...

But that’s the one.
