Mariah compares the way this man played her to a theatrical performance. She congratulates him in a sarcastic tone.
Flower bouquets are a classic way to honor someone after they’ve given a theatrical performance.
Cheers, bravo, and toast are all congratulatory expressions.
Standing O
Mariah Carey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
And your words they had no meaning
How didn't I forsee this?
Happiness and congrats
Know that
I pretend I mean it
So cheers, toast, bravo to you
'Cause you're the man of the hour
I'm a have to send you some flowers oh
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 ohh oh
Oh oh oh ohh oh
Oh oh oh ohh oh
Boy so here's your standing O
Oh oh oh ohh oh
Oh oh oh ohh oh
Oh oh oh ohh 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 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 all
So cheers, toast, bravo to you
'Cause you're the man of the hour
I'm a have to send you some flowers oh
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 ohh oh
Oh oh oh ohh oh
Oh oh oh ohh oh
Boy so here's your standing O
Oh oh oh ohh oh
Oh oh oh ohh oh
Oh oh oh ohh 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 (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
Biggest fool in the world (in the world)
Give 'em 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
In Mariah Carey's song "Standing O," the singer addresses a former lover who had taken advantage of her kindness and generosity. At the beginning of the song, Carey describes the relationship as being "sublime" and the kisses as "telling oh so many lies." However, she soon realized that the man did not value her or their relationship. Carey explains how she pretended to be happy for him even though she knew he was not worthy of her affections. Despite all this, she still decides to give him a standing ovation, congratulating him on his achievements and acknowledging him as the man of the hour. The song is a powerful message about standing up for oneself and recognizing when someone is not treating you with respect.
Throughout the song, Carey shows her vulnerability and her strength in standing up for herself. She describes how she gave the man her heart and how he did nothing more than pound on it. The repetition of the phrase "here's your standing O" implies that despite everything, Carey still wishes the man well and gives him the recognition he may feel he deserves. However, at the same time, she is saying goodbye to the relationship and moving on from a person who did not treat her well. Overall, "Standing O" is a thoughtful and emotional song that showcases Mariah Carey's vocal talents and her ability to convey deep emotions.
Line by Line Meaning
Here's your standing O
I am being sarcastic in giving you a standing ovation
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
You remind me of a love that was deceptive and not genuine
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
I pretended to be happy and hide my true feelings about our relationship.
And your words they had no meaning
How didn't I foresee this?
Happiness and congrats
Know that
I pretend I mean it
Your words were empty and meaningless, and I should have seen through your deception from the start.
So cheers, toast, bravo to you
'Cause you're the man of the hour
I'm a have to send you some flowers oh
Cheers, toast, bravo to you
The man of the hour
You played the one that loved you the most
Sarcastically congratulating you for playing with my emotions and pretending to love me the most.
Gave you my heart and all you did
Was pound on it (so here's your standing O)
I gave you my heart, and you abused and mistreated it, so here is your sarcastic standing ovation.
