I am
J. Blige Mary Lyrics

Hey no, no ooh,
The singer is starting the song with an emphasis and drawing the listener's attention.

Ain't nobody gonna treat you better
No one would treat you with more love and care than the singer.

Ain't nobody gonna touch you better
No one would give you a more passionate and intense touch than the singer.

Ain't nobody gonna love you better
No one would love you more deeply and sincerely than the singer.

Than I am,
The singer is emphasizing that all the love, care, and attention she is talking about will come from her.

When your out at night and your in the streets
When you are away from the singer, enjoying the nightlife

And you have time to yourself
When you have a moment to think about things on your own

Think of all the love that you get from me
Think about the amount of love the singer has given to you.

That you can't find nowhere else
No one else can love you the way the singer does.

When your far away and I'm not around
When you are away from the singer, and she's not there with you.

And temptation fills your heart
When you feel tempted to cheat on the singer.

Think of all the ways that I'm faithful babe
Remember all the love and devotion the singer has given despite the distance.

To replace me would be hard
It would be tough to find someone else who could give you the same love and care the singer does.

Cause there's nobody
No one can give you the same quantity and quality of love the singer does.

You can try to act single if you wanna
You might try to pretend that you are not in a relationship but are single.

You can go ahead and mingle if you wanna
You might think you can date or be with other people, but it won't compare to the love the singer gives.

You can even behave like you don't care
You might act like you don't appreciate or care about the singer's love.

But you know (but you know) like I know (like I know)
The singer is making it clear that you know the truth about the love and care you get from her.

That you ain't that foolish
The singer believes you are intelligent enough to recognize her love.

Who you foolin'? You won't ruin
The singer is questioning your motives and your ability to destroy the love and relationship you have together.

What's been here all along, you ain't movin'
The singer believes that the love and bond between the two of you have been strong all along and nothing can sever that relationship.

I just want you to know
The singer wants to assure you of her love and the depth of her emotions.

Baby I love you so
The singer loves you deeply and cares about you.

There is no need to go lookin' for nothing more
There's no need to search for love or care elsewhere.

Cause I've got everything you'll ever need right here
The singer is confidently assuring you that she is all you need when it comes to love and care.

But if you feel that you need to leave
The singer acknowledges that you may have doubts about the relationship or love in general.

Just know!
The singer leaves the listener with the message to know that her love for them will always be there.

Nobody's gonna treat you as good as I am
No one can give you the same level of love and care the singer does.
