(Ain't nobody)
No oh oh
Uh uh uh
Uh uh uh oh
Oh oh
(Mary)
?
Captured effortlessly
That's the way it was
It happened so naturally
I did not know it was love
The next thing I felt was you
Holdin' me close
What was I gonna do?
I let myself go
And now we're flyin' through the stars
I hope this night will last forever
I've been waitin' for you
It's been so long
I knew just what I would do
When I heard your song
It filled my heart with your bliss
Gave me freedom
I knew I could not resist
I needed someone
And now we're flyin' through the stars
I hope this night will last forever
Oh oh oh
Ain't nobody (nobody)
Loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way
Ain't nobody (ain't nobody)
Loves me better, than you
I wait for night time to come
And bring you to me
I can't believe I'm the one
I was so lonely
I feel like no one could feel
I must be dreamin'
I want this dream to be real
I need this feelin'
I make my wish upon a star
And hope this night will last forever
Oh oh oh
Ain't nobody (nobody)
Loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way
Ain't nobody (ain't nobody)
Loves me better, than you
Ain't nobody (nobody)
Loves me better (no)
And first you put your arms around me
Then you put your charms around me
I can't resist this sweet surrender
Oh my nights are warm and tender
We stare into each other's eyes
And what we see is no surprise
Got a feelin' most with treasure
And a love so deep we cannot measure
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Ain't nobody
Makes me feel this way
Mary J. Blige's song Ain't Nobody is a love song about two people who found each other effortlessly and fell in love. The first verse of the song speaks to the natural progression of their love, the second verse speaks about the singer's longing for love, and the chorus repeats the sentiments that nobody loves me better than you. The song is an expression of how deep and valuable their love is.
The song's first verse establishes how the two people's love came about so quickly and naturally that the singer didn't even realize it was happening. The second verse speaks to the singer's loneliness before meeting the person they are singing about. The song's refrain repeats the line "ain't nobody loves me better," indicating that the love between the two people is unmatched.
One possible interpretation of the song is that it speaks to love as an essential human need. The repeated line "ain't nobody loves me better" is a call back to the human need for connection and love. The idea is that without love, people are incomplete, and when we find someone who loves us, we're finally whole.
Overall, the song is a powerful anthem for love, connection, and happiness. It captures the intense emotion of falling in love and celebrates the joy that comes with finding the person who loves you best.

My nights are filled with love and comfort
We stare into each other's eyes
Our love is strong and intense
And what we see is no surprise
Our love was meant to be
Got a feelin' most with treasure
This love is precious to me
And a love so deep we cannot measure
Our love is immeasurable
