Avant Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't want to go another day
So I'm telling you, exactly what is on my mind
Seems as like everybody is breaking up
And throwing their love away
But I know I got a good thing right here,
That's why I say (hey)
[Chorus]
Nobody gonna love me better, I'm gon' stick wit you forever
Nobody gonna take me higher, I'm gon' stick wit you
You know how to appreciate me, I'm gon' stick wit you, my baby
Nobody ever made me feel this way, I'ma stick wit you
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 gettin' in between
I want you to know that, your the only one for me
[Chorus]
And now, ain't nothing else I can need..
And now, I'm singing 'cause your 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 ya worry about,
People hanging around,
They ain't bring us down!
I know you, and you know me,
And that's all that counts
So don't ya worry about,
People hanging around,
They ain't bring us down!
I know you, and you know me
And that's why, that's why I say
[Chorus: x2]
In Avant's song Stickwitu Ft. Pussycat Dolls, he sings about his commitment to his partner and how he chooses to stay by their side despite the breakups happening around them. He starts by expressing his desire to share his thoughts and feelings with his lover because he doesn't want to waste another day without letting them know how he feels. He acknowledges that most people are ending their relationships and not appreciating love, but he recognizes his good fortune and declares that nobody will ever love him better than his partner. He promises to stick with them forever and explains that they inspire him to be his best self, no one else can take him higher than this relationship.
Avant goes on to describe how he and his partner have a special bonding that doesn't involve anyone else. In their private lives, no one is getting in between their connection. He assures his lover that they are the only one for him, and they hold a significant place in his life. He sings about the endless love they'll make as he has his partner, and they will always be together, making their relationship a top priority.
In the final verse of the song, Avant addresses his partner's doubts and fears regarding their relationship. He tells them not to worry about other people who may try to harm their bond because their mutual understanding and love are all that counts. He reassures her that he knows her more than anyone else does, and he is committed to staying by her side. The chorus of the song reinforces the message of committing to one's partner in the midst of the world breaking apart.

I don't want to waste any more time
