Following the disbanding of Destiny's Child in 2006, Rowland released her second studio album, Ms. Kelly (2007). In 2009, she hosted the first season of The Fashion Show, and was featured on David Guetta's "When Love Takes Over", which topped the charts in several countries. Its success influenced Rowland to explore electronic dance music on her third studio album, Here I Am (2011). Her fourth album, Talk a Good Game (2013), became her third top-ten album on the US Billboard 200 chart. Rowland was a television judge on the eighth season of The X Factor UK (2011), as well as the third season of The X Factor USA (2013). She has continued her television career by hosting Chasing Destiny (2016) and starred as a coach on The Voice Australia (2017–2020).
Throughout her career, Rowland has sold over 40 million records as a solo artist, and a further 60 million records with Destiny's Child. Her work has earned her several awards and nominations, including five Grammy Awards, one Billboard Music Award, and two Soul Train Music Awards. Rowland has also received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as part of Destiny's Child, and as a solo artist, she has been honored by the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers and Essence for her contributions to music. In 2014, Fuse ranked Rowland in their "100 Most Award-Winning Artists" list at number 20.
Can't Nobody
Kelly Rowland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know you want to leave
So many little games silly people play
Don't act foolishly
I'm so real, so soft to touch
My love my kiss so sweet, glorious
The look on your face
Anyone can see
Oh no, oh no can't nobody
Do it like me, uh uh oh no
Can't nobody do it like me
Can't nobody do it like me
Uh uh and get right down to it like me
Uh uh, na na na na na na na na
I knew you'd be the one to come out
Your worth, I need you please to relax
I know I messed up but if you leave me now
Ain't no coming back, no more no me no you
No us no kiss no hugs , tell the truth
See I'm the only one that can love you
Babe, you're not that big a fool
Oh no, oh no can't nobody
Do it like me, uh uh oh no
Can't nobody do it like me
Can't nobody do it like me
Uh uh and get right down to it like me
Uh uh, na na na na na na na na
Can't nobody but me
Do the things that I do
To you the things that I do
To you
To you
