Standing O

Here's your standing O
By 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'm
Just hiding puffy eyes
To keep the world
From knowing what's inside

I didn't know o o o o oo
It was a show o o oo oo
Your words they had no meaning
How didn't I forsee 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
Imma 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 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

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 who taught you how to love
And boy I gave you all of me
The 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 want to leave me
With scars on my heart
It's funny how ya'll forget it all

So cheers, toast, bravo, to you
Cause you're the man of the hour
Imma 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 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

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 them 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 them 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
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
All you did was pound on it
