I AM
Johnta Austin feat. Mary J Blige Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
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.

Hey no, no ooh
A meaningless phrase that serves as a musical intro
Ain't nobody gonna treat you better
No one will ever treat you better than I do
Ain't nobody gonna touch you better
No one will ever touch you in a better way than I do
Ain't nobody gonna love you better
No one will ever love you better than I do
Boy, than I am, than I am
I am the best you will ever have, boy
When your out at night and your in the streets
When you're out at night and alone on the streets
And you have time to yourself
And you finally have time to think
Think of all the love that you get from me
Remember all the love I give you
That you can't find nowhere else (else)
That is unique and cannot be found anywhere else
When your far away and I'm not around
When you're far away and I'm unable to be with you
And temptation fills your heart
And you feel tempted by someone else
Think of all the ways that I'm faithful, babe
Remember how loyal I am to you, darling
And to replace me would be hard
And finding someone to replace me would be difficult
'Cause there's nobody
Because there's no one else like me
You can try to act single if you wanna (wanna)
You can pretend to be single if you want
You can go ahead and mingle if you wanna (wanna)
You can socialize with other people if you want
You can even behave like you don't care
You can act like you don't care about our relationship
But you know (but you know) like I know (like I know)
But deep down you know, just like I do
That you ain't that foolish
That you're not that stupid
Who you foolin'? You won't ruin
Who are you trying to fool? You won't destroy
What's been here all along, you ain't movin'
What we have had all along is here to stay, you will not move on
From what you've got at home
From the love and comfort you have with me
I just want you to know
I want to make sure you know
Baby, I love you so
That I love you dearly, my baby
There is no need to go lookin' for nothing more
There's no need to search for anything else
Cause I've got everything you'll ever need right here
Because I have everything you will ever need right here with me
But if you feel that you need to leave
But if you feel the need to leave me
Just know
Just be aware
Oh, nobody's gonna treat you as good as I am
No one will ever treat you as well as I do
Oh oh-oh, oh oh-oh, oh-oh (as I am)
