MARIAH CAREY LYRICS - Standing O

"Standing O"



[Verse 1:]

Oh oh oh ohhhhhhhh

oh oh oh ohhhhhhhh

oh oh oh ohhhhhhhh

oh oh oh ohhhhhhhh



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 decided with the eyes

to keep the world from knowin' what's inside.

I didn't know oh oh oh oh-oh-oh

I was a show oh oh oh oh-oh-oh



[Bridge:]

And your words they had no meaning.

How didn't I forsee this?

Happiness and congrats.

Know that

I pretend I mean it



[Chorus:]

So cheers, toast, bravo to you.

Cuz you're the man of the hour.

I'ma have to send you some flowers

Ohhhhhh

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 ohhhhhhhh oh

oh oh oh ohhhhhhhh oh

oh oh oh ohhhhhhhh oh

Boy so Heres your standing O

oh oh ohhhhhhhh oh

oh oh oh ohhhhhhhh oh

oh oh oh ohhhhhhhh oh

Gave you my heart and all you did was pound on it (so heres your standing O)



[Verse 2:]

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 went and leave me with the scars on my heart,

it's funny how ya'll forget it sll.



[Chorus:]

So cheers, toast, bravo to you.

Cuz you're the man of the hour.

I'ma have to send you some flowers

Whooooooa

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 ohhhhhhhh oh

oh oh oh ohhhhhhhh oh

oh oh oh ohhhhhhhh oh

Boy so Heres your standing O

oh oh ohhhhhhhh oh

oh oh oh ohhhhhhhh oh

oh oh oh ohhhhhhhh oh

Gave you my heart and all you did was pound on it (so heres your standing O)



[Break:]

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
