I'm Still Standing

I'm Still Standing by Elton John is featured in Big Brother, the fifteenth episode of Season Three. It is sung by Artie and Quinn. It is the first of their two duets in this episode.

They sing the song in the choir room for the New Directions assuring that Quinn is okay following the car accident in On My Way and how she is still "standing" despite being in a wheelchair.

Lyrics[]

Quinn:
You could never know what it's like
Your blood like a winter freezes just like ice
And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you
You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use

Artie:
And did you think this fool could never win
Well look at me, I'mma coming back again
I got a taste of love in a simple way
But if you need to know while I'm still standing

Artie with New Directions:
You just fade away

Artie and Quinn with New Directions harmonizing:
Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

Artie and Quinn with New Directions:
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah

Quinn with New Directions harmonizing:
Once I never could hope to win
You starting down the road leaving me again

Artie:
The threats you made were meant to cut me down
And if our love was just a circus

Artie with New Directions:
You'd be a clown by now

Artie and Quinn:
Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

Artie and Quinn with New Directions:
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah

Quinn with New Directions (Artie):
Don't you know, I'm still standing (Ooooh)
Better than I ever did

Artie and Quinn with New Directions harmonizing:
Looking like a true survivor

Quinn with New Directions:
Feeling like a little kid
(Artie: I'm still standing) I'm still standing

Artie and Quinn with New Directions (Artie):
After all this time (Standing)
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
I'm still standing
Yeah! yeah! yeah! (Yeah!)

Quinn with New Directions (Artie):
I'm still standing (Standing)
Yeah! yeah! yeah! (Whoa uh oh)

Artie and Quinn with New Directions:
I'm still standing

Quinn with New Directions (Artie):
Yeah! yeah! yeah! (Yeahhh eh eh eh eh eh)

Artie and Quinn with New Directions (Artie):
I'm still standing
Yeah! yeah! yeah! (Oh oh...)
I'm still standing
Yeah! yeah! yeah! (Yeah yeah yeah yeah!)
I'm still standing

Quinn with New Directions (Artie):
Yeah! yeah! yeah! (I'm still standing, I'm still standing)

Artie and Quinn with New Directions:
I'm still standing
