"You're still the one I want for life… You're still the one I love, the only one I dream of." When a myriad of songs declare heartbreak, cheating, and how to get in bed, this is a bit refreshing.
Though they "took the long way" and others "bet they'[d] never make it", they continue to hold on, "going strong". But the lyrics have a lot of repetition. Some of that's the point to the song "You're Still the One", that her boyfriend—fiancé?—is "still the one [she] want[s] for life". There's not much outright said in the song, though that they're living together in implied (since he's "still the one [she] kiss[es] goodnight").
Still, for country, Shania Twain's nicely in control of her vocals, making her voice above average even if it's not my preferred style. The music, also, is more involved than much country with a very pretty bridge. Unfortunately, the overall average music of the song lowers that rating.
Would I buy this song? No. Would I mind listening to it once in a while? No. Do I suspect country fans will like it? Yes.
Music: 4/5
Vocal(s): 3/5
Overall: 6/10
