A favourite (British English), or favorite (American English), was the intimate companion of a ruler or other important person. In medieval and Early Modern Europe, among other times and places, the term is used of individuals delegated significant political power by a ruler. It is especially a phenomenon of the 16th and 17th centuries, when government had become too complex for many hereditary rulers with no great interest or talent for it, and political constitutions were still evolving. The period 1600-1660 saw particular successions of all-powerful minister-favourites in much of Europe, particularly in Spain, England, France and Sweden. The term is also sometimes employed by conservative writers who want to avoid terms such as "royal mistress", or "friend", "companion" or "lover" of either sex. Several favourites had sexual relations with the monarch (or their spouse), but the feelings of the monarch for the favourite covered the full gamut from a simple faith in the favourite's abilities, through various degrees of emotional affection and dependence, to sexual infatuation.

Don't look sexy but it just feels right
Not too dirty and it's not too tight
Why I never threw it out, I'll never know exactly why
Keep it in the drawer beside my bed
It's faded pink now, but it used to be red
Starting to fray at the seams, but I know that you'll still love me
Like you did, like you did
Like before, like before
Like we will, like we will
Be doin' it once more
Oh baby know what your like?
You're like my favorite underwear
It just feels right, you know it
Oh baby know how you feel?
You feel like my favorite underwear
And I'm slipping you on again tonight
Leave you lyin' on the bedroom floor
I leave you hangin' on the bathroom door
Take you for granted, but I'll always know exactly where you are
Lost you once you were hard to find
Got you back you didn't live like mine
Thought we were falling apart but you make me feel so pretty
Like you did, like you did
Like before, like before
Like we will, like we will
Be doin' it once more
Oh baby know what your like?
You're like my favorite underwear
It just feels right, you know it
Oh baby know how you feel?
You feel like my favorite underwear
And I'm slipping you on again tonight
Slipping you on again tonight
Wrap me and roll me, hold me tight
Tear me apart and make me new
Like you always do
Oh baby know what your like?
You're like my favorite underwear
It just feels right, you know it
You feel you're like this is what I want
You feel, you feel
Oh baby know what your like?
You're like my favorite underwear
It just feels right, you know it
You feel you're like this is what I want
You feel, you feel
Oh lie
I thought you were golden
I thought you were wise
Caught you returning
To the house you caught fire
But I know that I was your favorite
And I said Amen
Wise, found favorin' heaven
And I at your side
But I never felt sorry
For those shimmering lies
When I laid down and cried
I was faking
And I said Amen
Last night I dreamt
That I hit a deer with my car
Blood from his heart
Spilled out onto my dress and was warm
He begged me to follow
But legions of sorrow defied me
Oh lie
I thought you were golden
I thought you were wise
When I caught you returning
To the house you caught fire
But I know that I'm your favorite
And I said "Amen"
Oh favorite
[Chorus:]
I don't know what it is that you've done to me,
But it's making me feel like your favorite,
So just say it! I'm your favorite?
Son you'll know it, yeah!
When you got first time in my head,
Big smile isn't getting out the bed, oh, oh,
So today is gonna be a good day,
Cause I'm seeing his face, yeah!
Make it sure every hair is in place,
Wear a gown cause he likes it this way, oh, oh, oh
Smelling right... here we go and we're feeling real great!
Oh yeah!
And I get so weak, I can't hide it cause it shows!
And I sing with the radio!
[Chorus: x2]
I don't know what it is that you done to me,
But it's making me feel like a favorite,
So just say it! I'm your favorite?
So you know I am!
Even though I see him standing right there, oh, oh,
Walk pass just to make him stare, oh, oh,
Always... a little chase... gotta... my fight in the game, game.
And never feels I always get my way,
Any second you'll be following me,
... a little crush, baby!
Oh yeah!
And I get so weak I can't hide it cause it shows!
And I sing with the radio!
[Chorus: x2]
I don't know what it is that you done to me,
But it's making me feel like a favorite,
So just say it! I'm your favorite?
[Chorus:]
You're my favourite (yeah), you're my favourite (yeah)
You're my favourite (yeah), you're my favourite (yeah)
[Verse 1:]
OK, but don't need no intro
You know me, I bump hard, disco
I overshine, F being neutral
They know this is the way that we go
Can't hold me back here
I'm as slippery as Chinese hair
Call me the favourite girl all year
Don't just make them listen I raise their eyebrows
But don't strip for PR
I'm the original S.T.A.R
The only thing you see is my gold card
I go hard, boy I die hard
Yet the girl gets busy
My tracks swing 'em till they dizzy
And I be feeling kinda tipsy
When the girl come out, they yell out saying
[Chorus:]
You're my favourite (yeah), you're my favourite (yeah)
You're my favourite (yeah), you're my favourite (yeah)
[Verse 2:]
Yeah, put me on your favourite list
I climb up do Spiderman tricks
Well they ain't hot
I guess I missed it
It's hard when your name is Miss It
Yeah this game is better
But I'm a keep it I'm a real heavy hitter
And my clothes stay glitter
I'm a trendsetter
Follow me, Twitter
Right thurr but ain't Chingy
Gotta make 'em always love me like Whitney
Got 'em excited like a girl seen a shoe case
So sweet I leave her head up with a toothache
Cause the girl gets busy
My tracks spin them till they dizzy
And I be feeling kinda tipsy
When the girl come out they yell out saying
[Chorus:]
You're my favourite (yeah), you're my favourite (yeah)
You're my favourite (yeah), you're my favourite (yeah)
[Verse 3:]
Yeah, I'm your favourite
Everything I do you should favour it
Flow so smoking, cigarette
And if you don't like it, sit on it
I'm the favourite one, don't know two
Take me home your mom won't know you
Even my landlord saying gotta pay the rent
Cause I'm so right
Like I never left
So lemme do my ting ting, I'm a big ting
Then show me love all year, no sprinkling
And if the world is so cold, I'm a penguin
Call me ice queen, better yet ice cream
So you can tell me what's your favourite
Flavour, you know I got it all on me
Come and tell me what's your favourite
Flavour, you know I got it all on me, then say
[Chorus:]
You're my favourite (yeah), you're my favourite (yeah)
I bought your album
You're my new favorite band
I love that third song - yeah
Let's hear that one again
And I learned all your words
So I can sing along
You're my favorite band
You write my favorite songs
I listen to your music
in my room
Shutting out the world
just me and you
I hear you're coming soon
To my home town
I got my tickets as
Soon as they went on
And your music means
It means so much to me
Got me through some bad times
That you wouldn't believe
I listen to your music
in my headphones
I listen to your music
when I'm alone
I played you for some friends
And they loved you too
We're gonna start a fan club
And dedicate it to you
And we learned all your words
So we can sing along
You're our favorite band
You write our favorite songs
We listen to your music
in my car
