Lyrics: Bernie Taupin

Alright
You could never know what it's like
Your blood, like winter, freezes just like ice
And there's a cold and lonely light that shines from you
You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use
And did you think this fool could never win?
Well, look at me, I'm a-comin' back again
I got a taste of love in a simple way
And if you need to know while I'm still standin', you just fade away
Don't you know, I'm still standin' better than I ever did?
Lookin' like a true survivor, feelin' like a little kid
Well, I'm still standin' after all this time
Pickin' up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
Well, I'm still standin' (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm still standin' (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Once, I never coulda hoped to win
You're startin' down the road, leavin' me again
The threats you made were meant to cut me down
And if your love was just a circus, you'd be a clown by now
You know, I'm still standin' better than I ever did
Lookin' like a true survivor, feelin' like a little kid
Oh, I'm still standin' after all this time
Pickin' up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
Well, I'm still standin' (Shoo be doo wop, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Shoo be doo wop, wop, wop)
Ooh, I'm still standin' (Shoo be doo wop, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, let's go (Shoo be doo wop, wop, wop)
You know, I'm still standin' better than I ever did
Lookin' like a true survivor, feelin' like a little kid
Oh, I'm still standin' after all this time
Pickin' up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
Ooh, I'm still standin' (Shoo be doo wop, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Shoo be doo wop, wop, wop)
Oh, I'm still standin' (Shoo be doo wop, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Shoo be doo wop, wop, wop)
Yeah, I'm still standin' (Shoo be doo wop, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Well, I'm still standin' (Shoo be doo wop, wop, wop)
(Shoo be doo wop, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Shoo be doo wop, wop, wop)
Alright
