Favorite Things Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm thinking of my soul's sovereignty
And I know everything you hate in me
Fill me up with over-pious badgerings
To throw them up, one of my favorite things

[Chorus]
Too bad the things that make you mad are my favorite things
My favorite things

[Verse 2]
Remember all the lessons fed to me?
Me, the young sponge, so ready to agree
Years have gone, I recognize the walking dead
Now aware that I'm alive and way ahead

[Chorus]
Too bad the things that make you mad are my favorite things
Yeah-yeah, oh yeah
And I'm so happy

[Bridge]
I see you looking, I know that you're thinking
That I'll never go anywhere
The things that I've done and the things that I've seen
I don't really expect you to care, go!
[Chorus]
Too bad the things that make you mad are my favorite things
Yeah-yeah, oh yeah
And I'm so happy

[Outro]
Too bad the things that make you mad are my favorite...
Too bad the things that make you mad are my favorite things

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
