Nothin' On You

B.o.B

Beautiful girls all over the world
I could be chasin' but my time would be wasted
They got nothin' on you, baby (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Nothin' on you, baby (ooh, ooh, ooh)

They might say, "Hi" and I might say, "Hey"
But you shouldn't worry about what they say
'Cause they got nothin' on you, baby (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Nothin' on you baby (yeah)

No-no-no-nothin' on you, babe
No-nothin' on you (yeah)
I know you feel where I'm comin' from (from)
Regardless of the things in my past that I've done (done)
Most of it really was for the hell of the fun (fun)
On the carousel, so around I spun (spun)
With no directions just tryna get some (some)
Tryna chase skirts, livin' in the summer sun (sun)
And so I lost more than I had ever won (won)
And honestly I ended up with none (huh)

There's so much nonsense
It's on my conscience
I'm thinkin' maybe I should get it out
And I don't wanna sound redundant
But I was wondering
If there was something that you wanna know (something that you wanna know)
But never mind that we should let it go (we should let it go)
'Cause we don't wanna be a TV episode (TV episode)
And all the bad thoughts just let them go (go, go, go)

Beautiful girls all over the world
I could be chasin' but my time would be wasted
They got nothin' on you, baby (ooh, ooh, ooh)
(No-no-no-nothin' on you, babe)
(No-nothin' on you)
Nothin' on you, baby (ooh, ooh, ooh)
(No-no-no-nothin' on you, babe)
(No-nothin' on you)
They might say, "Hi" (hi) and I might say, "Hey" (hey)
But you shouldn't worry about what they say (why?)
'Cause they got nothin' on you, baby
(No-no-no-nothin' on you, babe)
(No-nothin' on you)
Nothin' on you baby
(No-no-no-nothin' on you, babe)
(No-nothin' on you) (yeah)

Hands down there will never be another one (nope)
I been around and I never seen another one
Because your style I ain't really got nothin' on (nothin')
And you out and you ain't got nothin' on?
Baby, you the whole package plus you pay your taxes (huh)
And you keep it real while them other stay plastic (facts)
You're my Wonder Woman call me Mr. Fantastic (ha)
Stop, now think about it

I've been to London (yeah), I've been to Paris (yeah)
Even went out there to Tokyo (Tokyo)
Back home down in Georgia (yeah) to New Orleans (yeah)
But you always steal the show (steal the show)
And just like that, girl, you got me froze (got me froze)
Like a Nintendo 64 (64)
If you never knew, well, now you know (know, know, know)

Beautiful girls all over the world (all over)
I could be chasin' but my time would be wasted (haha)
They got nothin' on you, baby (ooh, ooh, ooh)
(No-no-no-nothin' on you, babe)
(No-nothin' on you)
Nothin' on you, baby (ooh, ooh, ooh)
(No-no-no-nothin' on you, babe)
(No-nothin' on you)
They might say, "Hi" (hi) and I might say, "Hey" (hey)
But you shouldn't worry about what they say (why?)
'Cause they got nothin' on you, baby (ooh, ooh, ooh)
(No-no-no-nothin' on you, babe)
(No-nothin' on you)
Nothin' on you, baby (ooh, ooh, ooh)
(No-no-no-nothin' on you, babe)
(No-nothin' on you)(yeah)

Everywhere I go I'm always hearing your name (name, name)
And no matter where I'm at, girl, you make me wanna sing (sing)
Whether a bus or a plane (plane) or a car or a train (train)
No other girls on my brain and you the one to blame (blame)(yeah)

Beautiful girls all over the world (all over)
I could be chasing but my time would be wasted (why?)
They got nothin' on you, baby (ooh, ooh, ooh)
(No-no-no-nothin' on you, babe)
(No-nothin' on you)
Nothin' on you, baby (ooh, ooh, ooh)
(No-no-no-nothin' on you, babe)
(No-nothin' on you)
They might say, "Hi" (hi) and I might say, "Hey" (hello)
But you shouldn't worry about what they say (why?)
'Cause they got nothin' on you, baby (ooh, ooh, ooh)
(No-no-no-nothin' on you, babe)
(No-nothin' on you)
Nothin' on you, baby (ooh, ooh, ooh)
(No-no-no-nothin' on you, babe)

    No comments yet? This song is beautiful. Actually, I first heard B.O.B. on Cobra Starship's album, but Bruno Mars really makes this track. I hope he releases an album soon. I'm more of a soul fan than a rap fan and I must say the lyrics on this are brilliant as well.

    "you're my wonder woman call me mr. fantastic"

    "and just like that girl you got me froze/like a nintendo 64"

    I'm such a nerd and I love this.

    It's about being in love. Sure, you know there are other girls who other people might find just as beautiful or more beautiful than your girl, but nothing compares in your mind to the girl you're in love with. Every other girl looks like a 1 when the girl you love is a 10 in your mind.

    Song Meaning

    I dont like rap, but This song fits mine and My fiances realationship better then anything.

    "beautiful girls all over the world i could be chasing but my time would be wasted they got nothing on you baby nothing on you baby they might say hi and i might say hey but you shouldn't worry about what they say cuz they got nothing on you baby (yeah) nothing on you baby (not not not nothing on you babe, not nothing on you)"

    His girl probally rasies hell when another girl calls, texts, trys to hit on him. ect. she probally gets pissed about it... and he is trying to say, there Is no other girl like her in this world, if he tried to find another girl better then her his time would be wasited because it cant get better then her.

    "i know you feel where i'm coming from (from) regardless of the things in my past that i've done (done) most of really was for the hell of the fun (fun) on the carousel so around i spun (spun) with no directions just tryna get some (some) tryna chase skirts, living in the summer sun (sun) this is how i lost more than i had ever won (won) and honestly i ended up with none (none)"

    Other girls have probally been brought up all through their realationship, Shes probally always thinking he wants them and not her. Hes saying Hes had other girls, but nothing like her, He doesnt want them. He never loved them, but he loves her. But In the past he was nothing but a dog, and just trying to fuck other girls, and was nott love them, and he never found nothing, and ended up with nothing.

    "there's no much nonsense it's on my conscience i'm thinking maybe i should get it out and i don't wanna sound redundant but i was wondering if there was something that you wanna know (that you wanna know) but never mind that we should let it go (we should let it go) cuz we don't wanna be a t.v episode (t.v episode) and all the bad thoughts just let them go (go, go, go)"

    Girl once again brings it up. Hes thinking maybe He should get it out once again, telling her shes his number one, and he thinks about talking to his girl about his past girls, But he knows what shes going to say and what she thinks, soo He thinks they should just drop the past hoes... Because he doesnt want it to be like reality tv, were you see DRAMA left and right, and negive thoughts should be let go, becuse he has changed, and he doesnt want to nail hoes anymore, he wants someone that he could stay with.

    "beautiful girls all over the world i could be chasing but my time would be wasted they got nothing on you baby (not not not nothing on you babe, not nothing on you) nothing on you baby (not not not nothing on you babe, not nothing on you) they might say hi (hi) and i might say hey (hey) but you shouldn't worry about what they say cuz they got nothing on you baby (not not not nothing on you babe, not nothing on you) nothing on you baby (not not not nothing on you babe, not nothing on you)"

    chours basically saying the samething...

    "hands down there will never be another one i been around and i never seen another one look at your style they ain't really got nothing on and you out and you ain't got nothing on baby you the whole package plus you pay your taxes and you keep it real while them other stay plastic you're my wonder women call me mr. fantastic stop ... now think about it"

    There will NEVER be another girl like this girl. She gots he shit in line, Shes not a whore, shes not a gold digger she doesnt depend on anyone. She has her life together, And hes not fake, shes real.

    "i've been to london, i've been to paris even went out there to tokyo (tokyo) back home down in georgia to new orleans but you always steal the show (steal the show) and just like that girl you got me froze (got me froze) like a nintendo 64 (64) if you never knew well now you know (know, know, know)"

    Hes been everywhere but hes never met a girl like her.

    "beautiful girls (yeah) all over the world (all over) i could be chasing but my time would be wasted they got nothing on you baby (not not not nothing on you babe, not nothing on you) nothing on you baby (not not not nothing on you babe, not nothing on you) they might say hi (hi) and i might say hey (hey) but you shouldn't worry about what they say cuz they got nothing on you baby (not not not nothing on you babe, not not nothing on you) nothing on you baby (not not not nothing on you babe, not nothing on you)"

    Chorus

    "everywhere i go i'm always hearing your name (name, name) and no matter where i'm at girl you make me wanna sing (sing) weather a bus or a plane (plane) or a car or a train (train) no other girls in my brain and you the one to blame"

    He thinks about her all the time, shes the best, she makes him happy where ever he goes and shes always on his mind.

    "beautiful girls (yeah) all over the world (all over) i could be chasing but my time would be wasted they got nothing on you baby (not not not nothing on you babe, not nothing on you) nothing on you baby (not not not nothing on you babe, not nothing on you) they might say hi (hi) and i might say hey (hello) but you shouldn't worry about what they say cuz they got nothing on you baby (not not not nothing on you babe, not nothing on you) nothing on you baby (not not not nothing on you babe, not nothing on you)"

    Overall great song, Its a true love song, I love it, and i dislike rap. lol Fits me and my Finance sooo well..

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
