Standing O
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh
Here's your standing O
Boy, you remind
Me of a love that seemed so sublime
Your kisses told me oh so many lies
Shades on like I be stuntin' through the night
But I
Was hiding puffy eyes
To keep the world from knowing what's inside
I didn't know-O-O-O-O-O-O
I was a show-O-O-O-O-O-O
And your words, they had no meaning
How did I not foresee this?
Happiness and congrats and all that
I'll pretend I mean it
So cheers, toast, bravo, to you
'Cause you're the man of the hour
I'mma have to send you some flowers
Whoa
Cheers, toast, bravo to you
The man of the hour
You played the one
That loved you the most
So here's your standing O
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Boy, so here's your standing O
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh oh oh
Oh, oh-oh oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Gave you my heart
And all you did was pound on it
So here's your standing O
Here's your standing ovation
Doctor, I was too patient
Even when you wasn't enough
I'm the one that taught you how to love
And, boy, I gave you all of me
Parts of affection you couldn't see
As you embrace her in your arms
Give her my all
Give her more than you gave to me
When you had nothing, I gave
When you were weak, I made you brave
You wanna leave me
With the scars on my heart
It's funny how y'all forget it all
So cheers, toast, bravo, to you
'Cause you're the man of the hour
I'mma have to send you some flowers
Whoa
Cheers, toast, bravo to you
The man of the hour
You played the one
That loved you the most
So here's your standing O
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Boy, so here's your standing O
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh oh oh
Oh, oh-oh oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Gave you my heart
And all you did was pound on it
So here's your standing O
Round of applause
To the biggest fool in the world
Give 'em all that you got
And they still ride out into the sunset
With the next girl
Round of applause
To the biggest fool in the world
Give 'em all that you got
And they still ride out into the sunset
With the next girl
Standing ovation
Congratulations
Damn! I was down for it
Gave you my heart
And all you did was pound on it
Boy, so here's your standing O
Standing ovation
Congratulations
Damn, I was down for it
Gave you my heart
And all you did was pound on it
All you did was pound on it
Gave you my heart
And all you did was pound on it
