No One Else In The Room
Nas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh
Maxwell go and sing
Ooh, this for the ladies
M-A-X
Doin' it
N-A-S
I'm back again (who's back)
Again, again, I'm back again (who's back)
Ooh, tell me (who's back)
I'm back again (who's back)
Again, again, I'm back again

Uh, yeah the booty is the bass
The highs, the beauty in ya eyes
First glance I became alive
She went through a lot of dangerous guys, surprise
Now she would decide on Nas
Cause I ain't choose her, she chose me
In the party, it was a early day in March
When I first had ya legs arched
In the park, wasn't even dark
We was in the zone, we ain't care who watch
Maybe was the wine or the trees was sparked
She said till you get enough, please don't stop
So I played with it, got the moist spot hot
If I ain't hittin' the bottom, I'm getting some top
My hair cut look air brushed
Whatever I wear is straight plush from the ears to chucks
As we sashayed across the dance floor
Just, me and you no one else but us two

No other girl in the room
No other girl in the room but you
(There's no other girl lookin' as good as you)
There's nobody but you
(They can try, they can try)
No other girl in the room
(But you know, you know, you know)
No other girl in the room
(Oh, oh, ooh ooh)
No other girl in the room but you
(There's no other girl, no)
There's nobody but you
(They try)
No other girl in the room
(There's nobody to)

In the early eighties, shorty had me off the wall
A super freak as my thoughts revolved
It's like a menage Winona Gaye and Leila Hathaway
Both they fathers a tell me to play, sip rose
On our honeymoon everyday
We dance to the same tune everyday
Beauty and the goon they would say
You promise, savage beast
You a sexy freak
Your moist lips negates the ecstasy
Number one in my book, no discrepancy
When you walk on the earth, you be reppin' me
I'm obsessed with thee, cherish every breath you breathe
No matter what's going on around us
All I could hear was the sound of (her)
Twirlin' her around just (her)
See nobody in the crowd just (her)

No other girl in the room
(No one)
No other girl in the room but you
(There's no other girl)
There's nobody but you
(Thinkin' about you baby, baby)
No other girl in the room
(Never ever, ever, ever, see you)
No other girl in the room
(Oh)
No other girl in the room but you
(No other girl has, they're not you)
There's nobody but you
(Ooh baby yeah)
No other girl in the room

Uh, horns
Clap
Everybody clap
C'mon, clap
Max mellow 'em out

Oh it's just my, it's just my, it's just my girl
Oh, it's just, just my, just my baby, you
Just you, just me, no one else but you
No one, no one, just me and you, oh babe

Clap Break it down





You know it all comes from Africa
But my version is the blues

Overall Meaning

The song "No One Else in the Room" by Nas featuring Maxwell is a love song dedicated to a special lady. The song takes us through their love journey, from when he first saw her in the party, went ahead to the park, got intimate and danced together. Nas uses metaphors to describe her beauty, referring to the highs as the beauty in her eyes, and the booty as the bass. The song is about the woman who stood out from the rest, as the only one in the room. Nas suggests that he didn't choose her, but she chose him. The track depicts the memories of being lost in the moment as a couple, with just the two of them in the room with love being the only focus.


Maxwell chimes in with the chorus, which emphasizes that she is the only one in the room. Her mesmerizing beauty stands out such that no other lady comes close to her. Since she is the only one he sees, he is promising his undying love and faithfulness. The chorus also suggests that no matter what others try, they will never come close to her goodness. Nas's verse talks about how in the '80s, his lover was a super freak who had him off the wall. To the singer, she was his "number one," and no discrepancies would come between them. As Nas exits the song, Olu Dara enters with a short assertion that everything comes from African roots, albeit with his versions in the blues.
