I AM
Johnta Austin feat. Mary J Blige Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey no, no ooh
Ain't nobody gonna treat you better
Ain't nobody gonna touch you better
Ain't nobody gonna love you better
Boy, than I am, than I am

When your out at night and your in the streets
And you have time to yourself
Think of all the love that you get from me
That you can't find nowhere else (else)
When your far away and I'm not around
And temptation fills your heart
Think of all the ways that I'm faithful, babe
And to replace me would be hard
'Cause there's nobody

Ain't nobody gonna treat you better (no, nobody)
Ain't nobody gonna touch you better (nobody)
Ain't nobody gonna love you better boy, than I am
Than I am
(Nobody, nobody) than I am
(Nobody, nobody) than I am
(Nobody, nobody)
Oh, nobody's gonna treat you as good as I am

You can try to act single if you wanna (wanna)
You can go ahead and mingle if you wanna (wanna)
You can even behave like you don't care
But you know (but you know) like I know (like I know)
That you ain't that foolish
Who you foolin'? You won't ruin
What's been here all along, you ain't movin'
From what you've got at home

Ain't nobody gonna treat you better
Ain't nobody gonna touch you better (ain't nobody gonna touch you)
Ain't nobody gonna love you better, boy, than I am
Than I am (ooh-ooh)
(Nobody, nobody) than I am
(Nobody, nobody) than I am
(Nobody, nobody)
Oh, nobody gonna treat you as good as I am

I just want you to know
Baby, I love you so
There is no need to go lookin' for nothing more
Cause I've got everything you'll ever need right here
But if you feel that you need to leave
Just know

Ain't nobody gonna treat you better
Ain't nobody gonna touch you better (ain't nobody)
Ain't nobody gonna love you better, boy, than I am
Than I am
Ain't nobody gonna treat you better
Ain't nobody gonna touch you better
Ain't nobody gonna love you better, boy, than I am (oh-ooh)
Than I am

(Nobody, nobody) than I am
(Nobody, nobody) than I am
(Nobody, nobody) than I am
Oh, nobody's gonna treat you as good as I am
(Nobody, nobody) than I am (oh, oh, oh)
(Nobody, nobody) than I am (oh, oh)
(Nobody, nobody) than I am (no, no, no, no)
Oh, nobody's gonna treat you as good as I am (oh, no no)
Oh oh-oh, oh oh-oh, oh-oh (as I am)
Oh oh-oh, oh oh-oh no (as I am)
Oh oh-oh, oh
(Oh, nobody's gonna treat you) boy, than I am
(Nobody, nobody) than I am
(Nobody, nobody) (I am)




(Nobody, nobody) than I am
Oh, nobody's gonna treat you as good as I am

Overall Meaning

This song by Johnta Austin featuring Mary J. Blige is a soulful love song that expresses the depth of love and commitment that one person has for their partner. The lyrics emphasize the idea that nobody can treat, touch or love the other person better than the singer does. The chorus reiterates this, with its repetition of the phrase “Ain't nobody gonna treat you better, ain't nobody gonna touch you better, ain't nobody gonna love you better boy, than I am". The singer is reassuring their partner that even though they may be far apart, they will always be faithful and dedicated to the relationship.


The verse talks about how the partner may be tempted while out at night or in the streets, but the singer encourages them to remember the love that they have and how faithful they are. The lyrics also suggest that the partner may try to act single or mingle with others, but ultimately they know that they have everything they need with their partner. The song ends with a repeating chorus and the singer declaring that nobody can treat their partner as well as they do.
