[English]

You've got nothing on anyone else, baby

VITALS on the track

They might say hi and I might say hey

But you shouldn't worry about what they say

'Cause they've got nothing on you, baby

Nothing on you, baby

Everybody asking how we're doing, saying we're good

Don't need anyone telling me how to live the way they would

It ain't their business, but they're obsessed, I don't know why

Revolving around my life after I found another guy

People get so caught up thinking they know everything

But little do they know you weren't just a summer fling

I really got them thinking this was all just fun and games

So caught up in the past, they're acting like a bunch of losers

They can't touch me, these people don't phase me

Enjoying every moment, not worried about who's involved

I'm growing every day, everything's gonna be okay

As long as I've got my life together, they'll see me doing better

They can't touch me, on me, on me

They can't touch me, on me, on me

They can't touch me, on me, on me

They've got nothing

Beautiful girls all over the world

I could be chasing them, but it would be a waste of my time

They've got nothing on you, baby (they've got nothing on me)

Nothing on you, baby (they've got nothing on me)

What's that saying? Right person, wrong time

In this case, I'm glad I found you because I know you're mine

I know it isn't official yet, but it'll be soon

Showing everyone that we don't care what they think either

I never thought that we would make it this far

We were just vibing, and now look at where we are

We've got so much potential, we have something so special

I wonder where this is going, just keep this thing flowing

They can't touch me, these people don't phase me

Enjoying every moment, not worried about who's involved

I'm growing every day, everything's gonna be okay

As long as I've got my life together, they'll see me doing better

They can't touch me, these people don't phase me

Enjoying every moment, not worried about who's involved

I'm growing every day, everything's gonna be okay

As long as I've got my life together, they'll see me doing better

They can't touch me, on me, on me

(These people) They can't touch me, on me, on me

They can't touch me, on me, on me

Nothing on me, baby

Key Grammar Structures

• But little do they know you wasn't just a summer fling

  ➔ Negative Inversion

  ➔ Placing 'little' at the beginning of the clause requires auxiliary verb inversion to add emphasis.

• I never thought that we would make it this far

  ➔ Reported Speech / Conditional sequence

  ➔ The use of 'would' follows 'thought' to express a future-in-the-past perspective.

• It ain't their business, but they in it

  ➔ Non-standard/Colloquial verb omission

  ➔ In 'they in it', the verb 'are' is omitted, which is common in AAVE or informal speech.

• As long I got my shit together

  ➔ Conditional conjunction

  ➔ 'As long as' sets a condition that must be met for the result in the next clause.

• In this case, glad I found you

  ➔ Elliptical sentence structure

  ➔ The subject 'I' and verb 'am' are omitted from 'I am glad' for stylistic brevity.

• I could be chasin', but my time would be wasted

  ➔ Modal verbs in conditional constructions

  ➔ The use of 'could' and 'would' indicates a hypothetical situation rather than a fact.

• Don't need no one to tell me

  ➔ Double negative (Informal)

  ➔ Using 'don't' and 'no one' together is a stylistic non-standard usage common in song lyrics for emphasis.

• It's 'bout to be soon

  ➔ Reduction of 'about to'

  ➔ 'bout' is a common reduced form of the preposition 'about' in speech.
