Still Standing
Alexis Strum Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want you to remember
First kiss you ever had
When our lips met together
I knew that was that

I'm still standing
Keeping you dancing yeah
You know you want it

I'm still going
Making the party blow
The way you like it

(CHORUS)
Do you wanna hear me sing (Pop!)
'Cause I don't think I wanna (Stop!)
And I love it when my beats (Drop!)
Yeah it makes me feel hot
Guess whose back on top?

I'll happily surrender
To your desire
A touch so warm and tender
Is setting me on fire

I'm still standing
Keeping you dancing yeah
You know you want it
I'm still going
Making the party blow
The way you like it

(CHORUS)

Funkin' to this sound
We're gonna get down
(Pop!)
(Stop!)
(Drop!)
(Hot!)

(CHORUS)
