[Verse 1: Ralph Tresvant]
Oh, what can I do, girl?
So much in love, girl
But your friends gotcha' thinkin'
And it's affecting you

What can I do, girl?
So in love, girl
And I don't know what to do
'Cause I don't wanna lose you

[Pre-Chorus: Ricky Bell]
No
What would I do without your love?
Baby, it's heaven sent from above
So you don't believe
What your friends tell you about me

[Chorus]
I'm still the man for you
And I'm still the man that's true
And I'm still the man who's lucky
And I'm still in love with you
It don't matter what your friends do
They're just jealous of me and you
And I'll always keep you happy
'Cause I'm still in love with you
(I'm still in love) Yeah

[Verse 2: Ricky]
Time passes so fast, babe
I wish it would last, babe
'Cause I know in my heart
That my life ends and starts with you, yeah
And, baby, I know that this feelin'
I'm feelin' just won't let me go, baby
(You know why)
'Cause you're the first true love I've ever known

[Pre-Chorus: Ralph]
So what would I do without your love?
Baby, it's heaven sent from above
And I know that in my heart
I'm the best for you

I'm still the man for you
(Whoa-oh)
And I'm still the man that's true
(I'm still the man, baby)
And I'm still the man who's lucky
(Ooo ho)
And I'm still in love with you
(I said, I'm still in love with you)
It don't matter what your friends do
(Don't matter what they say to you)
They're just jealous of me and you
(It don't matter)
And I'll always keep you happy
(It just don't matter)
(The only thing that matters is that I'm still in love with you)
'Cause I'm still in love with you
(Woo)

[Bridge: Ricky]
Ohhh
What can I do to right this wrong?
I know that it makes me happy
To be in love with you
Sooo

[Chorus]
I'm still the man for you
(Hey, baby)
And I'm still the man that's true
(Darling, I'm still the man, baby)
And I'm still the man who's lucky
(The man)
(Woah, yea)
And I'm still in love with you
(Oh, aw yeah)
It don't matter what your friends do
(You see it don't matter)
They're just jealous of me and you

(Said)
I'm still the man for you, baby
And I'll always make you happy
I'll always be there, baby
'Cause I'm still in love
Still in love with you...

New Edition is a Boston-based R&B group that was seen as the inspiration of the boy bands that followed them during the 1980s and 1990s. The group initially consisted of Ralph Tresvant, Bobby Brown, Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, and Ronnie DeVoe. They released their debut album Candy Girl in 1983 after being discovered by producer Maurice Starr. This album yielded the hits “Candy Girl,” “Popcorn Love,” and “Is This the End.” After a financial dispute, New Edition cut ties with Starr and released their second album New Edition in 1984, which features two of their biggest “Cool It Now” and “Mr. Telephone Man.” In November 1985, they released All for Love featuring the hits “Count Me Out” and “A Little Bit of Love (Is All It Takes)” and one month later released Christmas All Over the World.

Before the end of 1985, the group decided to vote Bobby Brown out of the group for his disruptive behavior. After their 1986 doo-wop cover album Under the Blue Moon, lead singer Ralph Tresvant was considering a solo career as the group’s direction was in question. In 1987, Johnny Gill was added to the group and the quintet went on to create their most popular album Heart Break with producers Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis in 1988. This album was released on June 20, 1988—the same day as Bobby Brown’s Don’t Be Cruel—and features two more of their biggest “If It Isn’t Love” and “Can You Stand the Rain.”

In 1990, Ralph Tresvant, Johnny Gill and Bell Biv Devoe all went on to have successful hits. Among these hits was the remix to BBD’s “Word to the Mutha,” which was the first song to feature all six members. After a hiatus, all six members came together in 1996 to create the album Home Again, which hit #1 on the Billboard 200 and was a multi-platinum success. After some friction on the Home Again tour, Bobby Brown decided to depart the group again. In 2004, after leaving their longtime label MCA Records, New Edition signed with Bad Boy Records and released the album One Love but they left Bad Boy a year later due to a lack of promotion. The group continues to tour together and sell out shows after 30 years in the business. The group was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on January 23, 2017—one day ahead of the BET premiere of their 3-night mini-series The New Edition Story.
