Nothin' on You
B.o.B Lyrics

Beautiful girls all over the world
There are many pretty girls all over the world

I could be chasin' but my time would be wasted
Even though there are many pretty girls, none of them are worth chasing after because they are not as special as the one he is interested in

They got nothin' on you, baby (ooh, ooh, ooh)
None of the other girls are as impressive as she is

Nothin' on you, baby (ooh, ooh, ooh)
She is the best and there is no one better

They might say, "Hi" and I might say, "Hey"
He may acknowledge the existence of other girls, but he is not interested in them

But you shouldn't worry about what they say
She doesn't need to be concerned with what other girls are doing because she is already the best

'Cause they ain't got nothin' on you, baby (ooh, ooh, ooh)
None of the other girls can compare to her

Nothin' on you baby (yeah)
Again, she is the best and no one can compare to her

No' no' no' nothin' on you babe
No other girl is better than her

No' no' nothin' on you (yeah)
Repeat, she is the best

I know you feel where I'm comin' from (from)
He knows that she understands what he's saying

Regardless of the things in my past that I've done (done)
He's done things in the past that he's not proud of

Most of it really was for the hell of the fun (fun)
He did those things for the thrill of it

On the carousel so around I spun (spun)
He was stuck in a cycle of doing risky things for fun

With no directions just tryna get some (some)
He was aimlessly chasing experiences

Tryna chase skirts, livin' in the summer sun (sun)
He was chasing girls and living in the moment

And so I lost more than I had ever won (won)
He ended up losing more than he gained

And honestly I ended up with none (huh)
He has nothing to show for his reckless behavior

There's so much nonsense
He's done a lot of things that don't make sense

It's on my conscience
He feels guilty about his past behavior

I'm thinkin' maybe I should get it out
He's considering confessing and coming clean about his past

And I don't wanna sound redundant
He doesn't want to repeat himself

But I was wondering
He wants to know

If there was something that you wanna know (something that you wanna know)
He's asking if she wants to know anything specific about his past

But never mind that we should let it go (we should let it go)
He thinks they should move on from his past so they can focus on building a relationship

'Cause we don't wanna be a TV episode (TV episode)
He doesn't want their relationship drama to be broadcasted on television

And all the bad thoughts just let them go (go, go, go)
He wants to leave all the negative experiences behind and focus on the present

(No' no' no' nothin' on you babe)
Repeating that no other girl can compare to her

(No' no' nothin' on you)
Repeating that she is the best

Hands down there will never be another one (nope)
No one will ever compare to her

I been around and I never seen another one
He's had experience with many girls, but none of them compare to her

Because your style I ain't really got nothin' on (nothin')
He thinks her style is unique and special

And you out and you ain't got nothin' on?
He's surprised that she can look so good without even trying

Baby you the whole package plus you pay your taxes (huh)
She has everything he's looking for and is responsible

And you keep it real while them other stay plastic (facts)
She's authentic while he thinks other girls are fake

You're my Wonder Woman call me Mr. Fantastic (ha)
He sees her as a superhero and him as her partner

Stop, now think about it
He wants her to pause and consider what he's saying

I've been to London (yeah), I've been to Paris (yeah)
He's traveled to many places and seen many things

Even went out there to Tokyo (Tokyo)
He's been to Tokyo as well

Back home down in Georgia (yeah) to New Orleans (yeah)
Despite traveling, he still appreciates his hometowns in Georgia and Louisiana

But you always steal the show (steal the show)
Despite all his experiences, she is always the best part

And just like that girl you got me froze (got me froze)
She has a mesmerizing effect on him

Like a Nintendo 64 (64)
A reference to a popular video game console from his childhood, emphasizing that she has a nostalgic and special effect on him

If you never knew well now you know (know, know, know)
He wants her to understand and acknowledge how special she is

Everywhere I go I'm always hearing your name (name, name)
He can't stop thinking about her

And no matter where I'm at, girl, you make me wanna sing (sing)
She has such a positive effect on him that he feels like singing

Whether a bus or a plane (plane) or a car or a train (train)
He thinks about her no matter where he is or how he's traveling

No other girls in my brain and you the one to blame (blame)(yeah)
He only thinks about her and he thinks it's her fault for being so amazing

Yeah and that's just how we do it, ha ha
He's confident in their relationship and way of doing things

And I'ma let this ride
He's going to let their relationship continue and see where it goes
