Mix Name: Nothin' On You Vs. Come Back To Me
Artists: B.o.B. & Utada Hikaru Featuring Bruno Mars
Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap/Pop
Albums Involved: Come Back To Me (Utada, 2009), B.o.B Presents The Adventures Of Bobby Ray (2010)
Mixer: Carlo (yours truly)
Comments: I definitely had fun making this one - a way I found to add a happy ending to the Come Back To Me story because it features B.o.B. and Bruno taking the forgiving tone, saying, "I still can't forget you - and I've got skeletons in my closet too." It also definitely doesn't hurt that Bruno mentions visiting Tokyo. Also, I definitely liked the multicultural mix we got here since Hikki is Japanese with extensive US experience, B.o.B is black (and also got his start in my hometown of Winston-Salem, NC, though Atlanta rightfully claims him) and Bruno is a Filipino/Puerto Rican born in Hawaii.

Lyrics

1st Verse - Utada
The rain falls on my windows
And the coldness runs through my soul
And the rain falls, oh, the rain falls
I don't want to be alone

I wish that I could PhotoShop
All our bad memories
Because the flashbacks, oh the flashbacks
Won't leave me alone

1st Bridge - Utada
If you come back to me
I'll be all that you need
Baby, come back to me
Let me make up for what happened in the past

1st Chorus - Utada & Bruno Mars (with B.o.B.)
Baby, come back to me
(Come back) I'll be everything you need
(Come back) Baby, come back to me
(Come back) Boy, you're (one in a million)
(Come back) Baby, come back to me
(Come back) I'll be everything you need
(Come back) Baby, come back to me
(Come back) You're one in a million (one in a million)
Nothin' on you, baby
(Nuh-nuh-nuh-nothin' on you, babe, nuh-nothin' on you)
Yeah...

2nd Verse - B.o.B
I know you feel where I'm coming from
Regardless of the things in my past that I've done
Most of it really was for the hell of the fun
On a carousel, so around I spun

With no direction, just trying to get some
Trying to 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

2nd Bridge - Bruno Mars (with B.o.B.)
It's no 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 wonderin'
If there was somethin' that you wanna know (Somethin' 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 'em go (go!)
Go, (Go!), go (Hey!)

2nd Chorus - Bruno Mars (with B.o.B.) & Utada
Beautiful girls all over the world
I could be chasin', but my time would be wasted
They got nothin' on you, baby
(Nuh-nuh-nuh-nothin' on you, babe, nuh-nothin' on you)
Nothin' on you, baby
(Nuh-nuh-nuh-nothin' on you, babe, nuh-nothin' on you)
They might say hi

Baby, come back to me
(Come back) I'll be everything you need
(Come back) Baby, come back to me
(Come back) Boy, you're (one in a million)
(Come back) Baby, come back to me
(Come back) I'll be everything you need
(Come back) Baby, come back to me
(Come back) You're one in a million (one in a million)

3rd Verse - Utada & B.o.B
"Lower East Side of Manhattan
She goes shopping for new clothes
And she buys this and she buys that
Just leave her alone..."

I wish that he would listen
To her side of the story
It isn't that bad, it isn't that bad
And she's wiser for it now

Hands down, there will never be another one
I been around and I never seen another one
Because your style ain't really got nothin' on (Nothin'!)
And you wild when you ain't got nothin' on

Baby, you the whole package, plus you pay your taxes
And you keep it real while them others stay plastic
You're my Wonder Woman, call me Mr. Fantastic
Stop - now think about it

3rd Bridge - - Bruno Mars (with B.o.B.) & Utada
I've been to London, I've been to Paris
Even way out there in 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 (Sixty-fo')
If you never knew, well now you know (Know!)
Nothing that I do or say can change the past

3rd Chorus - Utada & Bruno Mars (with B.o.B.)
Baby, come back to me
(Come back) I'll be everything you need
(Come back) Baby, come back to me
(Come back) Boy, you're (one in a million)
(Come back) Baby, come back to me
(Come back) I'll be everything you need
(Come back) Baby, come back to me
(Come back) You're one in a million (one in a million)(Nuh-nothin' on you)

They might say hi (Hi) and I might say hey (Hey)
But you shouldn't worry (Ha ha!) about what they say (Why?)
'Cause they got nothin' on you, baby
(Nuh-nuh-nuh-nothin' on you, babe, nuh-nothin' on you)
Nothin' on you, baby
(Nuh-nuh-nuh-nothin' on you, babe, nuh-nothin' on you)
Yeah...

4th Verse - Utada & B.o.B. (with Bruno Mars)
Everything I ever did
Heaven knows I'm sorry, babe
I was too young to see
You were always there for me
And my curiosity
Got the better of me
Baby, take it easy on me

Anything from A to Z
Tell me what you want to be
I open my heart to thee
You are my priority
Can't you see you've punished me
More than enough already?
Baby, take it easy on me
Baby, take it easy on me

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

Final Chorus/Outro - - Bruno Mars (with B.o.B.)
Beautiful girls all over the world (All over)
I could be chasin' (Ha ha!), but my time would be wasted (Why?)
They got nothin' on you, baby
(Nuh-nuh-nuh-nothin' on you, babe, nuh-nothin' on you)
Nothin' on you, baby
(Nuh-nuh-nuh-nothin' on you, babe, nuh-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
(Nuh-nuh-nuh-nothin' on you, babe, nuh-nothin' on you)
Nothin' on you, baby
(Nuh-nuh-nuh-nothin' on you, babe, nuh-nothin' on you)
Yeah...

(Yeah...and that's just how we do it!
And I'mma let this ride...
B.o.B. and Bruno Mars...)

I just logged in to say you've done a fantastic job here! Seriously, I love it. The song flows so well, you'd think it was an official tune, seriously, well done!

Thanks a lot! I was certainly happy with how well it fit together - and I say that knowing that you can line up the tempo and pitch and still find that songs don't fit.

This is really nice~ great job~!
