Kajiwara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i could be chasing but my time would be wasted
they got nothin' on you baby
nothin' on you baby
they might say hi and i might say hey
but you shouldn't worry about what they say
cause they got nothin' on you baby
nothin' on you baby
not not not nothin' on you babe
not not nothin' on you
i know you feel where i'm coming from
regardless of the things in my past that i've done
most of it really was for the hell of the fun
on the carousel so around i spun (spun)
with no directions just tryna get some (some)
tryna chase skirts, living in the summer sun (sun)
this is how i lost more than i had ever won (won)
and honestly i ended up with none
there's no much nonsense
it's on my conscience
i'm thinking baby i should get it out
and i don't wanna sound redundant
but i was wondering if there was something that you wanna know
(that you wanna know)
but never mind that we should let it go (we should let it go)
cause we don't wanna be a t.v episode (t.v episode)
and all the bad thoughts just let them go (go, go, go, go)
beautiful girls all over the world
i could be chasing but my time would be wasted
they got nothin' on you baby
nothing on you baby
they might say hi and i might say hey
but you shouldn't worry about what they say
cause they got nothin' on you baby
nothin' on you baby
not not not nothin' on you babe
not not nothin' on you
hands down there will never be another one
i been around and i never seen another one
look at your style I ain't really got nothin' on
and you wild when you ain't got nothing on
baby you the whole package plus you pay your taxes
and you keep it real while them other stay plastic
you're my wonder women call me mr. fantastic
stop. now think about it
i've been to london, i've been to paris
even way out there in tokyo
back home down in georgia to new orleans
but you always steal the show (steal the show)
and just like that girl you got me froze (got me froze)
like a nintendo 64 (64)
if you never knew well now you know (know, know, know, know)
beautiful girls all over the world
i could be chasing but my time would be wasted
they got nothin' on you baby
nothin' on you baby
they might say hi and i might say hey
but you shouldn't worry about what they say
cause they got nothin' on you baby
nothin' on you baby
not not not nothin' on you babe
not not nothin' on you
everywhere i go i'm always hearing your name (name, name)
and no matter where i'm at girl you make me wanna sang (sang, sang)
whether a bus or a plane or a car or a train
no other girls on my brain and you the one to blame
beautiful girls all over the world
i could be chasing but my time would be wasted
they got nothin' on you baby
nothin' on you baby
they might say hi and i might say hey
but you shouldn't worry about what they say
cause they got nothin' on you baby
nothin' on you baby
not not not nothin' on you babe
not not nothin' on you
yeah and that's just how we do it
and i'ma let this ride
B O B and bruno mars!!
The song "Nothin' On You" by B.o.B. ft. Bruno Mars is a passionate love song about a special woman who has captured the singer's heart. The main theme is the singer's admiration for his partner, assuring her of his love and commitment to their relationship, even amidst other women who try to get his attention. The singer expresses how he has been with many women in the past, but none of them compare to his current partner. He emphasizes that nothing can come close to the love and joy she brings to his life, hence the title "Nothin' On You". The song has an upbeat tempo, coupled with Bruno Mars' memorable chorus, creating a feeling of pure joy and celebration of love.
The first verse highlights the singer's awareness of the beauty of women around the world, acknowledging that he could chase after them, but the feeling would be a waste of time. He then assures his partner that despite other women trying to get his attention, they have nothing on her. In the second verse, he talks about his past experiences with women, which were mostly for fun, but led him to a point where he felt like he had lost everything. He opens up to his partner about his past mistakes, and affirms his commitment to her.
The chorus brings together the main message of the song, by reiterating that nothing can come close to what his partner brings to his life. He then goes ahead to praise her in the bridge for her style, personality, and character, telling her that she is the whole package. The final verse is an ode to his partner; he explains that everywhere he goes, he hears her name and even mentions that there is no other girl on his mind. This final verse is a declaration of his love and desire for her, and a proclamation of their love story.
