Jon B Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now not that all the time that you take
To get ready ain't good for something
Not that the trip to the plaza
Spend a couple hours by yourself shopping's nothing
Not that the beautiful sundress don't look good
The way it falls around those hips
It's not that that ain't sexy love
Chorus:
Nothing looks as good as my body on you
Nothing looks as good as you
It really don't matter how you dress your body girl
Cause nothing looks as good as you
Verse 2:
It's not that the sun don't shine through that dress
Like I love to see summer
It's not that the way that it feels on your body
Ain't soft enough
It's not that those panties that you got on
Don't look like they can keep my kitty safe
Not that the moment we're taking them off don't look great
But soon as they're coming down your legs I'm thinking
[Chorus]
Bridge:
You're taking me there
Nothing compares to the lovely way
Your heavenly shape
It bends and twists and knocks me off my feet
Aw baby, you're doing your thing, you're working for sure
And under them clothes it's a beautiful thing
Your legs and hips ain't nothing better than that now baby
[Chorus]
In Jon B.’s song, “Az U,” the verses describe the singer’s appreciation for their lover’s body. The singer recognizes the effort and time that their lover puts into getting ready, buying clothes, and looking attractive, but they believe that nothing is as appealing as their lover’s naked body. The chorus is thematically similar, stating that their lover’s body is always desirable, regardless of how they dress it up. Essentially, the song is a testament to the beauty and allure of the human body, especially when it’s stripped of clothes and other accessories.
The bridge serves as kind of a interlude, where the singer highlights the fascinating and stunning shape of their partner’s body, their movements, and how it knocks them off their feet. The song carries adequate emotional weight, and the music is a blend of soulful and pop-like synth beats. Overall, “Az U” could be interpreted to be a celebration of the human body and its natural beauty.
