Nothing On You
Tyrese Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How many times have I called you,
Checking in when I knew I would be late,
And how many times did invite you 'round,
Knowing lately all in my face,
So tell why you trippin' girl about all these different girls
Is that what you really think of me
When you got the most important piece of me, (piece of me)
I could be leaving but I'm not
I realize what I got, can't nobody take your spot

No matter how many places I go
I will always call you home,
They ain't got nothing on you,
I know we be fussin, think it's always something,
But it's nothing on you

If I wanted her I'd get her,
But you're so much better yeah
You ain't gotta be around,
Baby for me to always hold you down
They ain't got nothing on you
Nothing nothing
They ain't got nothing on you

She might look like Hallie,
But you always steal the scene,
And I know you think that I'm not ready,
To truly say that you are the one for me,
It's nothing that I don't think about it,
Girl I'm may look but I won't touch
I never put that shit on us,
Will I ever leave, I doubt it
Baby you so stole my heart,
So I can't go too far,

No matter how many places I go,
I will always call you home,
They ain't got nothing on you,
I know we be fussin', think it's always something,
But it's nothing on you

If I wanted her I'd get her,
But you're so much better yeah
You ain't gotta be around,
Baby for me to always hold you down
They ain't got nothing on you
Nothing nothing
They ain't got nothing on you

Well there's Tina Michelle or Erica
Ain't none of them gon' ever come between us
Baby I've been there before so I understand
We all make mistakes so don't judge a man

They ain't got nothing on you,
I know we be fussin', think it's always something,
But it's nothing on you

If I wanted her I'd get her,
But you're so much better yeah
You ain't gotta be around,
Baby for me to always hold you down
They ain't got nothing on you

Nothing nothing
They ain't got nothing on you

I know we be fussin', think it's always something,
But it's nothing on you

If I wanted her I'd get her,
But you're so much better yeah
You ain't gotta be around,
Baby for me to always hold you down
They ain't got nothing on you





Nothing nothing
They ain't got nothing on you
