Ain't Nobody
B.Traits Breakage & Shy FX Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wherever you'd lead me, I would surely follow
Girl, you put me through some pain and misery
And now you are standing on my doorstep,
Telling me how much you need me
Baby, ain't nobody home (chorus: nobody's home)
Ain't nobody home (chorus: nobody's home)
But you laughed at me and said let me alone
Through my falling tears I saw you walk away
And now you're beggin' me to forgive you,
But this time, baby, it's your turn to beg
Baby, ain't nobody home (chorus: nobody home)
Ain't nobody home (chorus: nobody home)
Girl, I used to love you, in ways no one else would love you
Gave you everything that I own
Girl, you can't come back here
Ain't nobody home (chorus: nobody's home)
Once upon a time, when you went on your way
But, girl, I hoped and prayed, that you'd come back some day
But time has made some changes, turned me upside down
So, you can beg me to forgive you, but this time, baby, you can turn right around
(chorus: ain't) ain't nobody home (chorus: nobody home)
Ain't nobody (chorus: ain't), baby, ain't nobody (chorus: nobody home)
You know you hurt me once, (chorus: ain't nobody, nobody home) hmm
Ain't nobody home (chorus: ain't, ain't nobody home)
Oh you can beg me baby, (chorus: ain't, ain't nobody home) hmm
(chorus: ain't nobody) still nobody home, (chorus: nobody home) hmm
(chorus: ain't nobody) ain't nobody baby (chorus: nobody home)
(chorus: ain't nobody) ain't nobody home (chorus: nobody home)
I hear you knockin' (chorus: ain't nobody, ain't nobody home)
The lyrics to B.Traits, Breakage, and Shy FX's song Ain't Nobody are about a past relationship that ended badly. The singer is being approached by their former lover who left them in pain and misery. The former lover is begging for forgiveness, but the singer has moved on and they want nothing to do with them. The chorus repeats "Ain't nobody home" to signify that the singer is not willing to let their former lover back into their life.
The first verse starts with "Once upon a time, a long long time ago, wherever you'd lead me, I would surely follow." This line implies that in the past, the singer was willing to do anything for their former lover, even if it wasn't in their best interest. The second verse says, "How many times I begged for you to come home, but you laughed at me and said let me alone." The past relationship was one-sided as the singer begged their former lover to come back, but they were ignored.
In the third verse, the singer declares that they used to love their former lover and gave them everything they had. However, the relationship ended badly, and the singer no longer wants their former lover to be a part of their life. The chorus repeats "Ain't nobody home" to signify that the singer has moved on and is not interested in reconnecting with their former lover.
Overall, the song portrays the pain and hurt that can come from a bad relationship. The singer has moved on and is not interested in rekindling any kind of romance. The chorus repeats "Ain't nobody home" to signify that the singer is done with the past and is not willing to entertain the possibility of a future with their former lover.

Once upon a time, a long long time ago,
A story about something that happened many years ago
Wherever you'd lead me, I would surely follow
I was willing to follow you anywhere you went
Girl, you put me through some pain and misery
You caused me a lot of pain and sadness
And now you are standing on my doorstep, Telling me how much you need me
You're asking for my help and saying that you need me
Baby, ain't nobody home (chorus: nobody's home)
Sorry, you can't come in because nobody is home
How many times I begged for you to come home
I begged you to come back home many times before
But you laughed at me and said let me alone
You didn't take me seriously and asked me to leave you alone
Through my falling tears I saw you walk away
I cried while watching you walk away from me
And now you're beggin' me to forgive you
You're asking for my forgiveness now
But this time, baby, it's your turn to beg
Now it's your turn to ask for forgiveness
Girl, I used to love you, in ways no one else would love you
I loved you in a special way that no one else could
Gave you everything that I own
I gave you everything that belonged to me
Girl, you can't come back here
You're not welcome to come back here
Once upon a time, when you went on your way
This took place a long time ago when you left
But, girl, I hoped and prayed, that you'd come back some day
I always wished that you would come back to me
But time has made some changes, turned me upside down
Time has changed me and my feelings toward you
So, you can beg me to forgive you, but this time, baby, you can turn right around
You can ask for forgiveness, but I don't want you to come back
(chorus: ain't) ain't nobody home (chorus: nobody home)
Sorry, you can't come in because nobody is home
(chorus: ain't nobody) still nobody home, (chorus: nobody home) hmm
I still won't let you in because nobody is home
(chorus: ain't nobody) ain't nobody baby (chorus: nobody home)
Sorry, there's nobody here
I hear you knockin' (chorus: ain't nobody, ain't nobody home)
I can hear you knocking, but I'm not going to answer the door
