Ain't Nobody
Rufus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
That's the way it was
Happened so naturally
I did not know it was love
The next thing I felt was you
Holding me close
What was I gonna do?
I let myself go
And now we're flyin' through the stars
I hope this night will last forever
I've been waitin' for you
It's been so long
I knew just what I would do
When I heard your song
Filled my heart with your bliss
Gave me freedom
You knew I could not resist
I needed someone
And now we're flyin' through the stars
I hope this night lasts forever
Oh oh oh oh
Ain't nobody (nobody)
Loves me better (loves me better)
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way (nobody)
Ain't nobody (ain't nobody)
Loves me better than you
I wait for night time to come
And bring you to me
Can't believe I'm the one
I was so lonely
I feel like no one could feel
I must be dreamin'
I want this dream to be real
I need this feelin'
I make my wish upon a star
And hope this night will last forever
Oh oh oh oh
Ain't nobody (nobody)
Loves me better (better than me)
Makes me happy (feel this way)
Makes me feel this way
Ain't nobody (nobody babe)
Loves me better (nobody babe)
Ain't nobody
Loves me better (than you)
At first you put your arms around me
Then you put your charms around me
I can't resist this sweet surrender
Oh my nights are warm and tender
We stare into each other's eyes
And what we see is no surprise
Got a feeling most with treasure
And a love so deep we cannot measure
Ain't nobody (nobody)
Loves me better (better me)
Can make me feel this way (makes me happy) (makes me feel) this way
Ain't nobody (ain't nobody)
Loves me better (nobody)
Ain't nobody
Loves me better (nobody babe)
Ain't nobody (nobody babe)
Loves me better (ah make me feel)
Makes me happy (so much love)
Makes me feel this way
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Ain't nobody
Loves me better (ain't nobody)
Makes me happy makes me feel this way
Ain't nobody (whoa!)
Loves me better (ain't nobody)
Ain't nobody (make me feel this way)
Loves me better
Ain't nobody (nobody babe)
Loves me better (nobody babe)
Makes me happy (nobody babe)
Makes me feel this way (ain't nobody no, no, nobody babe, babe, babe, babe, babe, babe, yeah)
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Ain't nobody (say yeah, makes me feel, makes feel this way)
Loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way
The song "Ain't Nobody" by Rufus featuring Chaka Khan was released in 1983 and has since become a classic hit in the R&B and soul genres. The lyrics describe the power of love and how it can make someone feel alive, free and happy.
The opening lines express how love can happen effortlessly and naturally, even when we are not expecting it. The song then goes on to describe the intense emotions that come with falling in love, the feeling of being held close, and the inexplicable desire to let go and be with that person.
The chorus repeats the line "Ain't nobody loves me better" with a sense of conviction and confidence that suggests that the singer has found the love of their life. The song's outro repeatedly highlights the depth of the love that the singer has found, emphasizing the idea that there is simply no one who could love them better.
Ultimately, "Ain't Nobody" is a celebration of the power of love to lift us up, make us feel alive, and bring us joy.

Captured effortlessly
I fell in love with you effortlessly, as if it was meant to happen
That's the way it was
Our love story unfolded naturally without any complications or difficulties
Happened so naturally
Our love was not forced or planned, it just happened like a natural occurrence
I did not know it was love
At first I did not realize that what I was feeling was love
The next thing I felt was you
Soon after, your presence made me aware of the love I feel
Holding me close
When you wrapped your arms around me, I felt safe and protected
What was I gonna do?
I became aware of my emotions and did not know how to react
I let myself go
I decided to let go of any doubts or fears so that I could fully give in to my feelings
And now we're flyin' through the stars
We are in a state of euphoria and our love feels endlessly powerful
I hope this night will last forever
I wish that this moment and feeling of love could last forever and never fade away
I've been waitin' for you
I had been waiting for a person like you to come along
It's been so long
I had been lonely for a long time before you came into my life
I knew just what I would do
I already had an idea of what I would do when I met the right person
When I heard your song
When I met you, everything just clicked into place
Filled my heart with your bliss
Your love brought happiness and joy to my life
Gave me freedom
Your love freed me from loneliness and sadness
You knew I could not resist
You had a special kind of love that I could not turn away from
I needed someone
I had been longing for someone to share my life with
I wait for night time to come
I eagerly await the moments when we can be together
And bring you to me
I anticipate your arrival with excitement and joy
Can't believe I'm the one
I feel fortunate and grateful to have you in my life
I was so lonely
Before you came along, I felt incredibly lonely and isolated
I feel like no one could feel
I felt like nobody else could understand me the way you do
I must be dreamin'
Being with you feels too good to be true, like a dream
I want this dream to be real
I wish that our love could be a true and lasting reality
I need this feelin'
The feelings of love and happiness that you bring are too important for me to let go
I make my wish upon a star
I make wishes and dreams about our love coming true
And hope this night will last forever
I hope that these perfect moments we share together will never end
At first you put your arms around me
Our first embrace was unforgettable to me
Then you put your charms around me
Your personality and love drew me in even more
I can't resist this sweet surrender
I am completely giving in to the feelings of love and letting go of control
Oh my nights are warm and tender
Being with you fills my life with warmth and tenderness
We stare into each other's eyes
Looking into your eyes feels like looking into my own soul
And what we see is no surprise
Our love is pure and genuine, and there are no hidden agendas or secrets
Got a feeling most with treasure
Our love is incredibly valuable and precious to me
And a love so deep we cannot measure
Our love is infinite and immeasurable
Ain't nobody (nobody)
There is absolutely no one else like you
Loves me better (loves me better)
Your love is the most perfect and satisfying love for me
Makes me happy
You bring me absolute happiness and joy
Makes me feel this way (nobody)
The way you love me is completely unique and special
Ain't nobody (ain't nobody)
There is absolutely no one else who matches your qualities and love
Loves me better than you
Your love is irreplaceable and perfect, and nothing can ever compare to it
