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
