Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I'm telling you exactly what is on my mind
Seems like everybody is breaking up
And throwing their love away
That's why I say, hey
Nobody gonna love me better
I'mma stickwitu forever
Nobody gonna take me higher
I'mma stickwitu
You know how to appreciate me
I'mma stickwitu, my baby
Nobody ever made me feel this way
I'mma stickwitu
I don't want to go another day
So I'm telling you exactly what is on my mind
See the way we ride in our private lives
Ain't nobody getting in between
I want you to know that you're the only one for me
And I say
Nobody gonna love me better
I'mma stickwitu forever
Nobody gonna take me higher
I'mma stickwitu
You know how to appreciate me
I'mma stickwitu, my baby
Nobody ever made me feel this way
I'mma stickwitu
And now
Ain't nothing else I could need
And now
I'm singing 'cause you're so, so into me
I got you
We'll be making love endlessly
I'm with you
Baby, you're with me
So don't you worry about
People hanging around
They ain't bringing us down
I know you and you know me
And that's all that counts
So don't you worry about
People hanging around
They ain't bringing us down
I know you and you know me
And that's, that's why I say, hey
Nobody gonna love me better
I'mma stickwitu forever
Nobody gonna take me higher
I'mma stickwitu

Nobody ever made me feel this way
I'mma stickwitu
In Avant's song Stickwitu Urban Remix, the lyrics describe the singer's devotion to his significant other, emphasizing that his love is unique amidst a world filled with relationships that are falling apart. He declares that he doesn't want to go another day without sharing his feelings, and reassures his partner that he is committed to their love forever. The chorus highlights the depth of his loyalty; the repetition of the phrase "Nobody gonna love me better, I'mma stickwitu forever" reinforces his dedication to the relationship. The lyrics continue to depict an unwavering commitment, with the singer praising the appreciation his partner shows him and stating that no one has ever made him feel this way before.
The pre-chorus and chorus imbue the song with a resolute sense of devotion that refuses to be swayed by any external forces. The lines "Ain't nobody getting in between / I want you to know that you're the only one for me" and "So don't you worry about / People hanging around / They ain't bringing us down" suggest that the love between the two is steadfast and unshakeable. The song concludes with a deeply romantic image of the two engaged in endless lovemaking that reinforces the message of commitment and affection that runs through the entire track.
