He Still Loves Me Lyrics
Beyoncé
Lyrics
Took me a while
But I'm finally here
So I just wanna testify
Make it crystal clear
See I've been picked out
To be picked on
talked bout outta me friends mouth
I've been beat down
Til he turned my life around
(turn my life around)
seems like I always fall short
of bein worthy
Cuz I aint good enough
but he still loves me
I aint no superstar
The spotlight aint shinin on me
(no no no no no)
cuz I aint good enough
but he still loves me
Loves me
(Beyonce)
I used to wake up somedays
and wish i'd stayed asleep
cuz i went to bed on top of the world
today the worlds on top of me
everybody's got opinions
(they share)
They aint 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)
seems like I always fall short (fallin short)
of bein worthy (Lord I aint worthy)
Cuz I aint good enough (no no)
but he still loves me (still loves me)
I aint no superstar
I wanna be for you
The spotlight aint shinin on me
(but i want to be for you)
cuz I aint good enough
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
(trying my best but)
But it aint good enough
(just aint good enough)
Shunned by the world
(shunned by the world)
If I don't succeed
Cuz I aint good
But he still loves me
(I just aint good enough)
If you aint 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
cuz through his eyes we all look the same
What will we do
Without out pain
Feels like we always fall short
Of bein worthy (we are not worthy)
Cuz I aint good enough
But he still loves me
I aint no superstar
(I aint no superstar but I wanna be for you Lord)
The spotlight aint shinin on me
Cuz I aint good enough
(Oh)
But you still love me
I'm not perfect
Yes I do wrong
I'm tryin my best but
(tryin my best)
It aint good enough
(I'm not good enough)
Shunned be the word
(shunned by the world)
If i dont succeed
(i dont succeed-ceed-ceed)
Cuz I aint good enough
But he still loves me
(child sing with me)
I'm not perfect
Yes I do wrong
I'm tryin my best but
It aint good enough
(But the Lord's been so good to me)
Shunned be the word
(Shunned by the world)
If i dont succeed
Cuz I aint good enough
(I aint good enough)
But he still loves me
(The Lord still loves me)
No I aint good enough
But He still loves me
(Raise your hands if ya understand)
No I aint good enough
(How he blessed you cuz he blessed you too)
but He still loves me
(even though I aint worthy)
No I aint good enough
(you aint worthy, He's there for you)
but He still loves me
(no matter what I do)
No I aint good enough
(I aint good enough)
but he still loves me
(but the Lord still loves me)
Song & Lyrics Facts
Beyoncé's "He Still Loves Me" was released on April 4, 2006 as the third single from her second studio album B'Day. The song was written by Beyoncé, Makeba Riddick, Sean Garrett and Rich Harrison, with production handled by Harrison.
It is a mid-tempo hip hop soul ballad featuring elements of gospel music, which lyrically finds Beyoncé singing about a former lover who still loves her despite all that has happened between them. The accompanying music video for "He Still Loves Me" was directed by Melina Matsoukas and filmed in Los Angeles. In the clip, Beyoncé plays two characters: an angelic church singer and a sultry vixen. The video was nominated at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards for Best Female Video, but lost to Christina Aguilera's "Ain't No Other Man". The lyrics of the song express how someone can love you even after being hurt.
