Nothin’ On You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wearin' your black dress, red shoes, makeup, perfume, and diamonds
You always impress, turn heads, the second you walk through the door
You're like a real-life work of fine art, baby, you're priceless
But I just wanna get home, get that black dress down on the floor

[Chorus]
'Cause when you got nothin' on
There ain't nothin' wrong
Lovin' you all night long's
All I wanna do
I've seen the mountains high
I've sailed the ocean blue
But when you got nothin' on
Ain't nothin' got nothin' on you

[Verse 2]
You're better than Venice, Vegas, New York, LA, or Paris
Baby, you're Vermont in the fall, the Grand Canyon on a full moon
Oh, and they can keep those highrise, high price mansions, I wouldn't trade places
Long as I'm here with you, baby, I've got a room with a view

[Chorus]
'Cause when you got nothin' on
There ain't nothin' wrong
Lovin' you all night long's
All I wanna do
I've seen the mountains high
I've sailed the ocean blue
But when you got nothin' on
Ain't nothin' got nothin' on you
[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
Yeah, 'cause I've seen the mountains high
I've sailed the ocean blue
But when you got nothin' on
Ain't nothin' got nothin' on you
When you got nothin' on
Ain't nothin' got nothin' on you
Ain't nothin' got nothin' on you, baby

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

This is a heartfelt love song meant for his significant other. He tells her how much he loves her without telling her. He states “You’re like a real life, work of fine art Baby you’re priceless” telling her how much beauty he sees within her and on her. He compares her to places like Vegas, New York. Saying that she is better than all of these places no matter what they have to offer or what look like. Cody compares her beauty to other things that are also very beautiful, it doesn’t matter to him what so ever. He has seen the mountains high, he has sailed the oceans but nothing can compare to her beauty in his mind. Her beauty just captures him like a picture captures a moment. Ain’t nothin' got nothin' on her beauty.
