About Can't Nobody

"Can't Nobody" is a song performed by American recording artist Kelly Rowland. It was written and produced by Rich Harrison for Rowland's solo debut album Simply Deep (2002). The song is built around a sample of "Let's Get Small" (1982) by American R&B band Trouble Funk. Due to the inclusion of the sample, band members Robert "Syke Dyke" Reed and Tony Fisher are also credited as songwriters. Musically, the uptempo track has been described as an "airy hip hop funk" song, that has Rowland describing an infatuation as she tries to convince the object of desire of her charms and advantages. The song was released as the second single from Simply Deep in February 2003, following lead "Stole" and Rowland's duet single "Dilemma" with Nelly from his album Nellyville (2002). While it widely failed to match the success of its predecessors, "Can't Nobody" reached the top-five in the United Kingdom and became a top-twenty hit in Australia, Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Scotland. In the US, the song entered Billboard's Mainstream Top 40. An accompanying music video was directed by Benny Boom and shot in Los Angeles, California in January 2003. In further promotion of the song, Rowland performed the song on television shows such as Top of the Pops and made it part of the setlist of her Simply Deeper Tour (2003).

Trying to let you know what it's all about
I know you want to leave
So many little games silly people play
Don't act foolishly
I'm so real, so soft to touch
My love my kiss so sweet, glorious
The look on your face
Anyone can see
No one does it like me

Oh no, oh no can't nobody
Do it like me, uh uh oh no
Can't nobody do it like me 
Can't nobody do it like me
Uh uh and get right down to it like me
Uh uh, na na na na na na na na

I knew you'd be the one to come out
Your worth, I need you please to relax
I know I messed up but if you leave me now
Ain't no coming back, no more no me no you
No us no kiss no hugs , tell the truth
See I'm the only one that can love you
Babe, you're not that big a fool

Oh no, oh no can't nobody
Do it like me, uh uh oh no
Can't nobody do it like me 
Can't nobody do it like me
Uh uh and get right down to it like me
Uh uh, na na na na na na na na

Can't nobody but me
Do the things that I do
To you the things that I do
To you
To you
