What's your favorite lyric from a song?

They say politics is a last refuge,
so many scoundrels claim.
Steal a little and they'll throw you in jail,
steal a lot and they'll make you a king.

Bob Dylan-1983

I stated my favorite earlier, but I really needed to add that. His voice goes through my head like a knife, but he has to be one of the finest poets/lyricists ever, bar none.

My two favorites are:

Chuck Berry's

As I was motivatin' over the hill
I saw Maybelline in a Coupe de Ville

and

Smokey Robinson's

Oooh, Baby Baby

"I was kinda nervous when she bent down to tie the laces of my sho-o-oe. Tangled Up In Blue." Bob Dylan

The Garden of Earthly Delights:
Poisonous gardens, lethal and sweet ,
Venomous blossoms
Choleric fruit, deadly to eat.

Violet nightshades, innocent bloom,
Omnivorous orchids,
Cautiously wait, hungrily loom.
You will find them in her eyes,
In her eyes, In her eyes.

Petrified willows, twisted and brown
Carrion swallows,
Wait in the wet darkening ground.

Withering shadows, quietly grow,
Potently breeding
Into a spectacular glow
You will find them in her eyes,
In her eyes, In her eyes.

Lemonous petals, dissident play,
Tasting of ergot
Dancing by night, dying by day.

Blackening mushrooms drink in the rain,
Sinister nightblooms
Wilt with the dawn's welcoming pain.
You will find them in her eyes,
In her eyes, In her eyes.

The United states Of America, 1968 Columbia Records

IMO, the best come from old blues tunes. Like this one...

...when I first saw you I thought you was the One,
but when I checked a little closer I found yo bread ain't quite done

Don't know right off-hand who wrote it but I've heard Albert King sing it a hundred times.
