Ain't No More
JoJo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Crying buckets in the bathroom of this place
In the mirror, asking how could this be
Suddenly the mirror started talking back at me
It said "what the hell you doing?
baby wipe your face, girl those tears are special,
don't let em go to waste.
pull yourself together cause we gon be okay,
[Chorus:]
You ain't worth my tears
You ain't worth my time
There ain't no love here
And I'm gon be just fine
You ain't worth my tears
On to something new
No more tears for you
No more tears for you
There'll be no more tears for you
And I'm alright, fix my hair make sure my makeup's reapplied
Regain my composure get back in my stride
Said to the mirror, your new start is right outside
Walk up out the bathroom
He won't see me coming, he's sitting in the corner
with a girl & not a woman
When I walk up, such a scared look on his face (hey)
And I just smile & this is what I say
[Chorus:]
You ain't worth my tears
You ain't worth my time
There ain't no love here
And I'm gon be just fine
You ain't worth my tears
On to something new
No more tears for you
No more tears for you
There'll be no more tears for you
I have the right to knock her out that chair (hey)
But I'm a lady, so I won't take it there
I can not believe that I shed tears for you
But with dry eyes I'm telling you we're through.
[Chorus]
I wasted to many on you and now there's no more tears for you
Said there's no more tears for you
Said there's no more tears for you
Said there's no more tears for you
No more tears, there'll be no more tears for you
The lyrics of JoJo's song "Ain't No More" tell a story of empowerment and moving on from a toxic relationship. In the first verse, the singer is shown in a vulnerable state, with mascara running down her face and crying in the bathroom. However, when the mirror starts talking to her, it urges her to wipe her face and not let her tears go to waste. The mirror becomes a symbol of self-reflection and encouragement, telling her to pull herself together and confront the person causing her pain.
The chorus reinforces the message that the singer's tears and time are not worth wasting on someone who doesn't deserve her love. It emphasizes her determination to be just fine without this person and to move on to something new. The repetition of "No more tears for you" reinforces her decision to no longer let this person have an emotional hold over her.
In the second verse, the singer regains her composure and decides that her new start is waiting for her outside the bathroom. She approaches the person who hurt her, surprising him with her confidence and strength. While she acknowledges the scared look on his face, she smiles and declares that he is not worth her tears. This moment represents her reclaiming her power and taking control of her own happiness.
The bridge acknowledges the temptation to react violently or confrontationally, but the singer chooses to rise above it. She asserts her self-worth and refuses to let herself be dragged down to their level. The line "But with dry eyes I'm telling you we're through" demonstrates her resolve to end the relationship without further emotional investment.
The final repetition of "No more tears for you" solidifies the singer's decision to move forward and not waste any more time or tears on someone who doesn't deserve it. The lyrics convey a sense of personal growth, empowerment, and the realization that the singer's emotional well-being is more important than holding onto a toxic relationship.

No more tears, there'll be no more tears for you
I affirm that there will be no more tears shed for you
