You're My Favorite Song
Demi Lovato & Joe Jonas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Words don't come easy without a melody
I'm always thinking in terms of do-re-mi
I should be hiking, swimming, laughing with you
Instead I'm all out of tune

But what you don't know
You lift me off the ground
You're inspiration, you helped me find myself
Just like a baseline in half-time
You hold down the groove
That's why I'm counting on you

And if I heard you on the radio
I'd never wanna change a single note
It's what I'm trying to say all along
You're my favorite song

I'm in a session writing tracks
You've got another class to teach
And then rehearsal with a band
You're always one step out of reach
I'm looking for some harmony
With you it comes so naturally
You helped me find the right key

And when I hear you on the radio
I'd never wanna change a single note
It's what I tried to say all along
You're my favorite song

My favorite song!

And when I hear you on the radio (yeah, yeah)
I'd never wanna change a single note (no, no)
It's what I tried to say all along





You're my favorite song
You're my favorite song
