So as I’m walking down the street I stumble upon a song on Spotify that had a catchy hook “She ain’t got nothing on me … she ain’t got nothing on me”, and I thought to myself, who sings this? It’s vine sensation Toni Romiti (BISH WHET?) and I thought “The lyrics are definitely catchy, but why do we as women always say ‘She ain’t got nothing on me’ after we see our ex’s move on?”
Let’s keep it real here: Ladies, maybe she DOES have something on us. Maybe she doesn’t nag him about the way how he walks out of his clothes when he gets home. Maybe she doesn’t bitch him out because he didn’t bring her a caramel latte with double pumps of espresso. Maybe she doesn’t bitch when he’s out with his guys. These are all things we overlook because we’re too busy thinking about how her ass isn’t fat enough like ours is, or because she doesn’t dress as nicely as we do.
When that line escapes our mouths, it’s like some secret jealously comes out deep inside because she has something that we don’t have which is him. Or it could be that we somewhat actually believe somewhere in our minds that she doesn’t have anything on us.
It’s not even necessary to use that phrase because it only makes you look bitter in the long run. Instead of you being worried about what she looks like, or wondering about what they do together when they’re out on dates…why don’t you do something to go better yourself? It’s only fair to you! You’re the one that got rid of the douchebag in the first place. Don’t want him back now that you see he’s happy and moved on.
So now to make yourself feel better you decide to name her every wild beastly looking animal in the book, list all your accomplishments, and tell all your girlfriends about how great you are in bed to make yourself feel better. To be honest it only makes you look extremely pathetic. You shouldn’t be worried about him because he damn sure isn’t worried about you. He isn’t saying “Ah man, her new dude doesn’t even lift bro” to his guys. Trust me, if he did …. He’s too damn full of himself anyways.
In reality, you should be thanking his new girlfriend or side chick whatever you choose to call her. Here’s why… SHE GOT HIM OFF YOUR HANDS. YOU WON! You no longer have the responsibility of worrying about some idiot who still doesn’t know how to make Ramen correctly, and he’s still shrinking his clothes in the washing machine. This is something that should be celebrated! Why be mad at her? Is it because she’s sleeping in your old spot? Is it because she’s wearing the same big t-shirt that you used to wear with his matching sweats? …guess what ladies, that’s something you’re just going to have to get over.
Singing “She ain’t got nothing on me” damn sure isn’t going to help you. Now if you want a song that’s going to help you and make you feel better go listen to Nicki Minaj and Beyoncé’s new remix to “Flawless” …. Just know…you’re FLAWLESS and now THAT is something she doesn’t have on you.
