Still Your Best lyrics:

Are you serious? Are you kiddin' me?
What's the deal?
Oh no, no
This the one you talking 'bout that's supposed to take my place,
Damn, is this for real?
It's almost disrespectful

That's a downgrade and you know it
Still your best, me, still your best, me

When you wanna come back?
I lay you back on your back and do you just like that
Missed the way that I grabbed
Your body knows me, yes
I'm still your best, best, best

I don't want your heart
Maybe once before
I don't want you back
Just wanna let you know
Say my love is bad
So you let me go
But my love is more
Just wanna let you know
I don't want your heart
Maybe once before
I don't want you back
Just wanna let you know
Say my love is bad
So you let me go
But my love is more
Just wanna let you know

Still your best I know, love it or hate it
It's unfair I know, that I got away
Just confess right now, go ahead and say it
Go ahead and say it
Baby, it's okay

That's a downgrade and you know it
I'm still your best, oh, I'm still your best, oh, oh

When you wanna come back?
I lay you back on your back and do you just like that
Missed the way that I grabbed
Your body knows me, yes
I'm still your best, best, best

I don't want your heart
Maybe once before
I don't want you back
Just wanna let you know
Say my love is bad
So you let me go
But my love is more
Just wanna let you know
I don't want your heart
Maybe once before
I don't want you back
Just wanna let you know
Say my love is bad
So you let me go
But my love is more
Just wanna let you know

Maybe once before
Just wanna let you know
So you let me go
Just wanna let you know

Giveon official bio:

Giveon has always used his raw, evocative songwriting to mine a confusing world for answers, and that approach has connected to the tune of over 2 billion global streams and nearly 1 billion YouTube views thus far. But, lately, he's been fixed on a problem he can't solve. As he puts it, “Sometimes the truth is rewarded, and sometimes it’s frowned upon. Do we want truth, or a little deception to make us feel better?” This sort of tension is at the heart of Giveon's work. “Lie Again” shows off the emotional curiosity and deep warmth of his songs over cinematic R&B arrangements. This sensitivity and love for storytelling traces back to his upbringing in Long Beach, CA, where his mother shielded him and his brothers from the area’s gang culture, and encouraged him to sing. After years of hustle, he bonded with producer Sevn Thomas (Drake, Rihanna) in 2019 and placed “Chicago Freestyle” on Drake’s 2020 mixtape Dark Lane Demo Tapes. Giveon's March 2020 debut EP Take Time held his first top 40 Hot 100 hit, “Heartbreak Anniversary,” and by March 2021, his When It’s All Said and Done… Take Time compilation debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200. (It’s since gone Platinum, and highlight “All to Me” went Gold—his 10th RIAA certification). The seven-time Grammy nominee has been hard at work on a follow-up, figuring out how to best share himself with all eyes on him.
