Nothing On You
B.o.B Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away
Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
I said nothing can take away these blues
'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
It's been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me, baby, where did I go wrong?
I could put my arms around every boy I see
They'd only remind me of you
I went to the doctor and guess what he told me?
Guess what he told me?
He said, "Girl, you better try to have fun
No matter what you do, but he's a fool"
'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
All the flowers that you planted, mama
In the back yard
All died when you went away
I know that living with you, baby, was sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give it another try
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
The lyrics of "Nothing On You" by B.o.B are a tale of lost love, loneliness and heartbreak, with the singer longing for the love of his past. The songwriter feels incomplete and helpless since his lover left him, unable to fill the void left by her departure. The use of the time frame, "seven hours and fifteen days" signifies the depth of his emotional distress, conveying his need for his ex-lover's embrace. He attempts to find solace in simple pleasures such as eating in fancy restaurants and the embrace of other men, but they all leave him aching for the one he truly loves.
The chorus, "Nothing compares, nothing compares to you," highlights the songwriter's struggles to move on and find the same level of happiness and love that he had with his ex. He realizes that nothing can compare to the passion and intensity of their relationship.
The lyric "All the flowers that you planted, mama, in the back yard. All died when you went away" is metaphorical for the fact that everything good in their relationship has died with the departure of his lover. The songwriter acknowledges the complexities of his relationship with his lover but is still willing to give it another try to find happiness and fulfillment.

It's been seven hours and fifteen days
It's been a long time since you left
Since you took your love away
Since you ended our relationship
I go out every night and sleep all day
I'm trying to keep busy, but it's difficult
Since you took your love away
Since you ended our relationship
Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
I now have freedom to do what I want
I can see whomever I choose
I have the freedom to date whoever I like
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
I can treat myself to nice things
But nothing
Despite this freedom
I said nothing can take away these blues
I'm still unhappy
'Cause nothing compares
Nothing can compare
Nothing compares to you
To how I felt when we were together
It's been so lonely without you here
I feel alone without you
Like a bird without a song
My life feels empty without you
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
I can't help but cry
Tell me, baby, where did I go wrong
I'm still trying to figure out what went wrong
I could put my arms around every boy I see
I could try to find someone new
But they'd only remind me of you
But they wouldn't be the same
I went to the doctor and guess what he told me?
I sought advice
Guess what he told me?
He said
"Girl you better try to have fun
"Try to find enjoyment in life
No matter what you do, but he's a fool"
Despite his advice, he doesn't understand
'Cause nothing compares
Nothing can compare
Nothing compares to you
To how I felt when we were together
All the flowers that you planted, mama
The things you did for me
In the back yard
Are gone
All died when you went away
Since you left
I know that living with you, baby, was sometimes hard
I know it wasn't always easy
But I'm willing to give it another try
But I'm willing to try again
Nothing compares
Nothing can compare
Nothing compares to you
To how I felt when we were together
Nothing compares
Nothing can compare
Nothing compares to you
To how I felt when we were together
