Still Standing

Monica Still Standing Lyrics
1.Still Standing (feat. Ludacris)

Mama always told me
Baby you gotta walk by faith
And not by sight
Real talk
You gotta listen

Oh, oh, oh, ohohoh
Ooh, yeah

Oh, listen to me now
I'm gonna say it loud
So you won't be confused
'Bout what we talkin' 'bout
I been through the storm
Had dirt on my name
I'm still holding on
Champion of the game (they said)
Whatever don't kill you make you stronger
Well, I must be the world's strongest woman
See I done done a whole lotta growin'
Everything you say I'm already knowin'
Cause I...

I been up against ropes
Everything you're going through
I been there before
Seen them all come
And I seen them all go
You can bet your last that my head won't hit the floor
Never
And I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing
I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing

I had a lover take his own in front of me
I asked God why is this happening to me
But I didn't fold, I held my own
And now I'm deep in love with who I belong
(This is my life)
They say with age comes wisdom
And the white flag, I can't give 'em
Tryin' to tell you how it's s'posed to be
See, this is more than just a song to me
Cause I...

I been up against ropes
Everything you're going through
I been there before
Seen them all come
And I seen them all go
You can bet your last that my head won't hit the floor
Never
And I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing
I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing

I'm unbreakable, baby
Luda, yeah, it's a family affair
I may have done the things they say I did
But I'm not who they say I am
Try to throw my name in the dirt
But I really don't give a damn
I'm still standing like the statue of liberty
And I put my name in the history books
So you'll forever remember me
Remember me as the toughest warrior
Or the ultimate fighter
Cause I'm the truth and nothing but
It's like my hands on the bible
And it's the survival of the fittest
The realest, it's not a facade
Still standing on my two feet
Cause I'm a child of God
Do something

I been up against ropes
Everything you're going through
I been there before
Seen them all come
And I seen them all go
You can bet your last that my head won't hit the floor
Never
And I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing
I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing
(I'm not gonna give up, never. Come too far to look back, oh)
I been up against ropes (Oh, ohhh)
Everything you're going through
I been there before (I been there before)
Seen them all come (I've seen it, I've seen it, I've done it)
And I seen them all go (I've done it, I'm done)
You can bet your last that my head won't hit the floor
(Let me live my life now)
Never
And I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing
(I let it go, I let God,I let it go, and I let God)
I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing
(Don't hate me now)
(I ain't who I used to be no more)
(I'm still standing, I'm still standing)
(I'm still standing, oh)
(I'm still standing)
(I'm still standing)


2.One In A Lifetime

They say when you find the one there'll be no second guessing
You'd feel it deep in your heart you'll know that it was destiny
The feelin inside will let you know
Something that you cant deny just let it roll
They say its better to love than never love at all
To appreciate the good sometimes you gotta fall
But i was foolish
I shouldn't let you go
But now i miss you
I gotta let you know

I need you back back in my life
I need your kiss kiss in my life
And its been so long since you been gone
Baby wont you come back home

You only get one (one) one (one) love (love)
One in a lifetime
You only get one (one) one (one) love (love)
One in a lifetime
And i cant believe that i almost missed the signs
Right in front of my eyes
And now i know the love is real its hard to say why
One one love
One in a lifetime
And that one is you

They say that pleasure comes with pain
And im so used to being whole its hard to be half again
And you gotta feel the same way
My tears are steady falling like a pouring rain
Tell me will the forecast change

If you love somebody gotta let em know
Tomorrow's never promised you gotta let it show
If you love somebody you gotta let em know
Tomorrow's never promised you gotta let it show

I need you back back in my life
I need your kiss kiss in my life
And its been so long since you been gone
Baby wont you come back home

You only get one (one) one (one) love (love)
One in a lifetime
You only get one (one) one (one) love (love)
One in a lifetime
And i cant believe that i almost missed the signs
Right in front of my eyes
And now i know the love is real its hard to say why
One one love
One in a lifetime

And that one is you (that one)
And that one is you (that one)
And that one is you (that one)
And that one is you (that one)
Is you

I will climb the highest mountain
Swim the deepest oceans for you you you (cause you are the one)
I will walk across the desert just to get that message to you
you you (cause you are the one)
There aint a thing in this world that I wouldn't do
Right here to the man
Boy I'm tellin the truth
So all my ladies if you feel me
Then put your hands up for that one
For that one

You only get one (one) one (one) love (love)
One in a lifetime
You only get one (one) one (one) love (love)
One in a lifetime
And i cant believe that i almost missed the signs
Right in front of my eyes
And now i know the love is real its hard to say why
One one love
One in a lifetime


3.Stay Or Go

This is so annoying
As I grow up and I know that you won't
I don't understand whats so hard
You either wanna be with me or you don't

One day you love me
Next day you wanna leave
You're so up and down
Well I'm about good and tired of this
Too fly for you to not know what you want

So let me know
Whatcha gonna do
Stay or go
Cause I'm not waiting
Boy yes or no
I'm about to decide for you
Stay or go
Stay or go
Stay or go

Tried to give you real love
That's when you up and run away
But when I act like I'm done with you
(So done, So done, So done)
That's when you decide you wanna stay
I don't got time to waste like this
Too fly to put up with this day to day

So let me know
Whatcha gonna do
Stay or go
Cause I'm not waiting
Boy yes or no
I'm about to decide for you
Stay or go
Stay or go
So let me know
Whatcha gonna do
I gotta know, know
Cause I'm not waiting
Not anymore
About to decide for you
Stay or go
I gotta know

La la la la la la
Yes or no
Whatcha gonna do
Stay or go
Cause I'm not waiting
Yes or no
I'm about to decide for you
Stay or go
Stay or go


4.Everything To Me

Boy if you ever left my,
My side,
It'd be like taking the sun from
The sky
I'd probably die without
You in
My life
Cause I need you to
Shine, shine
Your light
Oooohhhhhhh

You're everything to me, heey
The air that I breathe, oohhh
I sigh so I see, oh Lord
You're everything to me

I can't repay you for all that you've done
Always come first and second to none
All that you've given me is equal to ten
My peace, my joy
You are my
My strength, ooohhhh

You're everything to me, whoa
The air that I breathe, ooooohhh
I sigh so I see, ohhh that
You're everything to me

(Boy I never thought) Never thought I'd feel a love like this
Better than our first date
Sweeter than our first kiss (and you)
Ain't no other person for me
You're my best friend
My lover
(Baby you're) My everything

You're everything to me, whoa
The air that I breathe, ooooohhh
I sigh so I see, ohhh
You're everything to me

I need you, I need you, I need you...

6.Mirror

Mirror, mirror
Oh, oh ooh yeah, yeah

From the second I laid eyes on you
In the mirror in that dressing room
Seeing you with me I finally knew the picture was complete
I used to have my share of lonely days
Beneath the make up and the darkest shades
But ever since you came I know the meaning of true love again

It's not the bags or the trips or the clothes
It's not the fans or the sold-out shows
It's the way that you see through my soul
I'm so exposed

When I look at myself in the mirror
I don't have to feel ashamed
Now it couldn't be much clearer
I'll never have to search again

When I look at myself in the mirror
I don't even recognize
The girl ?
Cause now I sit by my side
When I look at myself in the mirror

No, nothing's ever gonna be the same
Forget the fortune, you can keep the fame
Maybe if I had to choose, you know I'd trade it every time for
you
Cause this reflection that I'm staring at
Is so amazing I can't turn my back
And every time I look at you and me together, boy, I know the
truth, oh

It's not the bags or the trips or the clothes
It's not the fans or the sold-out shows
It's the way that you see through my soul
I'm so exposed

When I look at myself in the mirror
I don't have to feel ashamed
Now it couldn't be much clearer
I'll never have to search again

When I look at myself in the mirror
I don't even recognize
The girl ?
Cause now I sit by my side
When I look at myself in the mirror

(I can't help it)

Now she's running from love
That's all I'm guilty of
And I don't have to search no more
Found what I'm looking for
In the mirror
In the mirror

When I look at myself in the mirror
I don't have to feel ashamed
Now it couldn't be much clearer
I'll never have to search again

When I look at myself in the mirror
I don't even recognize
The girl ?
Cause now I sit by my side
When I look at myself in the mirror

Baby I see you
Baby I see me
Hope that we could be, forever
In the mirror
In the mirror

Baby I see you
Baby I see me
Hope that we could be, forever
In the mirror
In the mirror

9.Love All Over Me

Must not of been paying attention
I stepped right on in it, didn't even notice how deep I was
I went from the ground to the top of the clouds
And now as I look down I see where I fell into your heart

Now I got love all over me
Baby you touch every part of me
Ooo I got love all over me
And I don't want to get it off
I'm completely covered up in your love

Even my skin is changing ooooooo
I'm feeling women no more pricy blue hearts for me
You put the color back in my life
And now where there was black
and white you're becoming iridescent

I got love all over me
Baby you touch every part of me
Ooooo I got love all over me
And I don't want to get it off
I'm completely covered up in your love

Before your love baby I was blinded
To think we painted you took it from me
You showered me with a new beginning now I'm clean
To be my surprise when you ran up on me
I came to life baby in that moment
You put your hands on my heart baby now it beats

Now I got love all over me
Baby you touch every part of me
Ooooo I got love all over me
And I don't want to get it off
I'm completely covered up in your love

In your love
In your love
And I don't want to get it off I'm completely covered in your
love
Ohhh I
In. your Love


10.Believing In Me

I apologize for what Ive done
I admit that I was ruling control
didn't know that i was selling my soul
to someone who didn't care at all
couldn't see that you were bad for me
gave so much that it was making me weak
now i cant believe the way that it feels
to finally be free

Ive moved on
and I'm strong
I'm going back to the place where i know i belong
and I'm glad that your gone
cause your not what i need
I'm believing in me
Ive moved on
and I'm strong
I'm going back to the place where i know i belong
cause I'm right
and your wrong
cause your not what i need
this time I'm believing in me

the love i had for you was so deep
i didn't notice there was something wrong with me
when someone asked me was there anything i need
i would cry and tell them pray for me
but now i know exactly what it is
so I'm changing up the way that i live
I'm never letting go of my dreams
and maybe you'll see

Ive moved on
and I'm strong
I'm going back to the place where i know i belong
and I'm glad that your gone
cause your not what i need
I'm believing in me
Ive moved on
and I'm strong
going back to the place
where i know i belong
cause I'm right and your wrong
your not what i need
I'm finally believing in me

so i hope you can forgive me
I'm not gonna be the way i used to be
starting over can be so scary
but I'm gonna believe
promise I'm not gonna let me down
and my transformation starting right now
but I'm really glad you stuck around
cause you believed in me

so Ive moved on
and I'm strong
I'm going back to the place
where i know i belong
and I'm glad that your gone
cause your not what i need
I'm believing in me
Ive moved on
and I'm strong
going back to the place where i know i belong
cause I'm right
and your wrong
you were not what i need
I'm finally believing in me

finally
finally believing in me ... me
