My Favorite Color Lyrics

Green used to be my favorite color

Like a siren, I drew to its hue

Lately I started to discover

That I might want to try something new

I'm feeling rather dazzled now my eyes are in the air

I notice all around me colors dancing everywhere

I only get a single one

This life is so unfair

I'm stressed

Distressed

Green used to be my favorite color

It's the one that I've longest adored

Now that I noticed all the others

I started to get a little bored

Maybe I'll mingle with the red

Unless magenta pulls ahead

I see the orange

It looks so juicy

It's so exotic

A real doozy!

Mellow yellow's just the kind that I could covet

It's insane

And I love it

I won't be afraid

I won't be afraid

I won't be afraid

I really need to do away with it

I won't be afraid

I won't be afraid

I won't be afraid

I really need to do away with it

Before I turn to grey

I used to have a favorite color

And I'm dying to try something new

Lately, I'm smitten with another

You can say that I feel kind of "blue"

It's elegant, sophisticated

Whimsical and fair

The greatest of complexions

How could anything compare?

But everyone's in love with it

This life is so unfair

I'm stressed

Distressed

Green used to be my favorite color

How I yearn for that simpler time

Now I am certain I will suffer

'Til the palette provides me a sign...

A splash of blue

(Look away!)

Before my eyes

(Look away!)

Across the canvas of my being

A touch of green

(Don't look away!)

Upon the brush

(Don't look away!)

Of the confusion I'm foreseeing

Bear witness

As these world collide

And darkness dyes

And it's magnificent

For all my life

I thought I would wander with no direction

Then I saw cyan, of pure perfection

And I'm gleaming with affection

Preserving the childlike curiosity of green

Playful, careless, spontaneous

With the patience, wisdom, understanding

And thoughtful quietness of blue

Teal, turquoise, aquamarine

In shining splendour next to cerulean

Keppel, moonstone, and opal

And suddenly I feel weightless

Released from the bonds of uncertain approval

Of that which I thought was my duty to agree

But now I'm free

To be me

Unequivocally

Now that I know my favorite color

I can smile like I've never before

I still appreciate the others

But I love blueish-green even more

I love it even more

I love it even more
