Alex Wilson 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
First thing I felt
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 will last forever
Oh oh oh oh
Loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way
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
And 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
The lyrics of Alex Wilson's "Ain't Nobody" talk about the singer's experience of falling in love. He describes how he was captured effortlessly by the person he fell in love with and how it all happened naturally. He acknowledges that he didn't know it was love at first but the more he spent time with this person, the more he realized he was in love. The first thing he felt was his lover holding him close and he let himself go. He talks about how they are now flying through the stars and he hopes that the night will last forever with his lover.
In the second verse, the singer talks about how he waited for this lover for so long and knew exactly what he would do when he finally met them. The singer's heart was filled with bliss and he felt freedom, something he couldn't resist. This person was something he needed in his life. The singer waits for night time to come so that he can be with his lover, and he feels like the luckiest person in the world to have found someone who loves him better, makes him happy, and makes him feel a certain way.
The chorus of the song is catchy, with the singer repeating "Loves me better, makes me happy, makes me feel this way, loves me better than you". The singer expresses his desire to make his wish upon a star and hopes that the night will last forever with his lover. The song ends with the two lovers staring into each other's eyes with a love so deep that it cannot be measured.

Oh my nights are warm and tender
Spending my nights with you feels cozy and tender
We stare into each other's eyes
When we look into each other's eyes, we are lost in love
And what we see is no surprise
We were meant to be together
Got a feeling most with treasure
Our love is the most valuable thing I have
And a love so deep we cannot measure
Our love is so strong that it can't be defined by words
