Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Party, party)
Shawty, you get the best of me (best of me)
Whatever is left of me (left of me)
Stretchin' like elastic, no, no (best of me)
Every little bit of me stretchin' (left of me)
You get the best of me
So I give you the best of me
'Cause anything less you won't accept
So, I give you the best of me
I promised you I never go back to the city
'Cause you know how messy it get
You never take a chance to forget
Every time, I got you upset
So I (so I), give you my all so you don't cry (so you don't cry)
Give you my all, so you're not shy
Give you my all, so you know you're mine
Ooh, give you my all
Shawty, you get the best of me (best of me)
Whatever is left of me (left of me)
Stretchin' like elastic, no, no (best of me)
Every little bit of me stretchin' (is left of me)
You get the best of me
Anything less you won't accept it
So I give you the best of me
'Cause anything less you won't accept
So I give you the best of me (best of me)
Left of me
Best of me
Was left of me
Best of me
Left of me
Best of me
Was left of me
(Give you my all, so you're not shy)

The lines "Anything less you won't accept it, So I give you the best of me" reinforce this theme of giving their all to their partner. The lines "I promised you I never go back to the city, 'Cause you know how messy it get" can suggest that the singer is willing to change their environment to make their partner happy, which is another way they are trying to give their all.
The second stanza of the song repeats the same theme of giving their all to their partner. The lines "So I (so I), give you my all so you don't cry (so you don't cry), Give you my all, so you're not shy, Give you my all, so you know you're mine" convey the emotion of wanting to be everything their partner needs to be happy.
Overall, Nothing Less is a song that expresses the singer's willingness to go above and beyond for their partner, however demanding it might be.
