He Still Loves Me
Beyonce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I'm finally here
So I just wanna testify
Make it crystal clear (take your time)
See, I've been picked out
To be picked on (oh Lord)
Talked about out my friend's mouth
I've been beat down
(Turn my life around)
Seems like I always fall short
Of bein' worthy
'Cause I ain't good enough
But He still loves me
I ain't no superstar
The spotlight ain't shinin' on me
(No, no, no, no, no)
'Cause I ain't good enough
But he still loves me
Loves me
I used to wake up some days
And wish I'd stayed asleep
'Cause I went to bed on top of the world
Today the worlds on top of me
Now everybody's got opinions
(They share)
But they ain't been in my position
(They don't care)
That it breaks my heart when I hear what they
Have to say about me, yeah
(What they say about you?)
Seems like I always fall short (fallin' short)
Of bein worthy (Lord, I ain't worthy)
'Cause I ain't good enough (no, no)
But He still loves me (but you still love me, Lord)
I ain't no superstar (I ain't no superstar)
The spotlight ain't shinin' on me (I wanna be for you)
'Cause I ain't good enough (oh, no)
But He still loves me
I'm not perfect (I'm not perfect)
Yes, I do wrong (yes, I do wrong)
I'm trying my best, but (trying my best, but)
It ain't good enough (just ain't good enough)
Shunned by the world (I'm shunned by the world)
When I don't succeed (if I don't succeed)
'Cause I ain't good enough (I ain't good enough)
But He still loves me (just ain't good enough)
But you love me
If you ain't worthy, just raise your hands
And let me know that you understand
That we are all so blessed
To be loved, loved
Stand for him or fall for anything
'Cause through his eyes, we all look the same
What will we do
Without plan?
Feels like we always fall short
Of bein' worthy (we are not worthy)
'Cause I ain't good enough (no)
But He still loves me (but you still love me, me, me)
I'm not perfect (I'm not perfect, no, no, no)
Yes, I do wrong (yes, I do wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong)
I'm trying my best, but (trying my best)
It ain't good enough (I ain't good enough)
Shunned by the world (shunned by the world)
When I don't succeed (I don't succeed)
'Cause I ain't good enough (I ain't good enough)
But He still loves me (the Lord still loves me)
No, I ain't good enough
But He still loves me (raise your hands if you understand)
No, I ain't good enough (how he blessed you, 'cause he blessed me too)
But He still loves me
(Even though I ain't worthy)
No, I ain't good enough (you ain't worthy, He's there for you)
But He still loves me
(No matter what I do)
No, I ain't good enough (I ain't good enough)
But he still loves me
(But the Lord still loves me)
The song "He Still Loves Me" is an uplifting and inspiring song that speaks to people who feel unworthy, unloved, and picked on. The lyrics are sung by two artists, Beyoncé and Walter Williams SR. (of The O'Jays). The song captures Beyoncé's feelings of inadequacy and struggles with being perfect. She admits to being shunned by the world, but seeks to find solace in the unconditional love of God.
The song's opening lines, "Took me a while but I'm finally here, so I just wanna testify, make it crystal clear," express the singer's realization of her worth, which had taken her some time to discover. She acknowledges being picked on by friends and talked about, only to be beaten down until God turned her life around. The following line suggests a feeling of inadequacy, but despite the singer's perceived shortcomings, the song emphasizes that God still loves her.
The song is not just about Beyoncé's struggles with feelings of inadequacy or her personal journey with God. It's a message of hope to all those who feel unworthy and unlovable. The lyrics encourage listeners always to remember that God loves them, no matter what they do, say, or feel.

Took me a while
It took me some time to get here
But I'm finally here
But now I am here
So I just wanna testify
So I want to share my story and be a witness
Make it crystal clear
Make it very clear
See I've been picked on
I have been bullied
To be picked on
To be singled out and bullied
Talked bout outta my friend's mouth
People have talked about me behind my back
I've been beat down
I have been brought down by life's challenges
'Till he turned my life around
Until God helped me turn my life around
Seems like I always fall short
It seems like I can never measure up
Of bein' worthy
Of being deserving
Cause I ain't good enough
Because I don't feel good enough
But he still loves me
But God still loves me
I ain't no superstar
I am not a celebrity
The spotlight ain't shinin' on me
I am not in the spotlight
(No, no, no, no, no)
I wanna be for you
I want to be there for you, God
'Cause I ain't good enough
Because I don't feel good enough
I used to wake up some days
I used to wake up sometimes
And wish I'd stayed asleep
And wish that I had not woken up
Cause I went to bed on top of the world
Because I went to bed feeling great
Today the worlds on top of me
Today, however, the world is weighing me down
Everybody's got opinions
Everyone has their own opinions
(They share)
They ain't been in my position
But they have never been in my shoes
(They don't care)
That it breaks my heart when I hear what they
It hurts me deeply when I hear what they say
Have to say about me yeah
About me, yes
I'm not perfect
I am not flawless
(I'm not perfect)
Yes I do wrong
Yes, I make mistakes
(Yes I do wrong)
I'm trying my best
I am doing my best
(Trying my best but)
But it ain't good enough
But sometimes, my best is not enough
(Just ain't good enough)
Shunned by the world
Rejected by society
(Shunned by the world)
If I don't succeed
If I don't achieve my goals
'Cause I ain't good
Because I feel inadequate
But he still loves me
But God still loves me
(Child sing with me)
Stand for him or fall for anything
Stand up for God, or fall for anything else
'Cause through his eyes we all look the same
Because in God's eyes, we are all equal
What will we do
What will we do with our lives
Without out pain
Without experiencing pain and struggles
Feels like we always fall short
It feels like we never quite measure up
(fallin' short)
Of bein' worthy
Of being deserving
(Lord I ain't worthy)
I ain't no superstar
I am not famous or exceptional
(I ain't no superstar but I wanna be for you Lord)
Cause I ain't good enough
Because I don't feel good enough
(no no)
No I ain't good enough
I am not good enough
(How he blessed you 'cause he blessed you too)

No I ain't good enough
I am not good enough
(I ain't good enough)
But he still loves me
But God still loves me
(But the Lord still loves me)
