NOBODY BUT YOU
Algebra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Boy, listen
Everybody can't be in my head
Everybody can't sleep in my bed
Everybody can't be up in my face
Everybody can't be all in my space

Now I might fuss a lil' bit, curse a lil' bit
You know this, yeah
But if you trust a lil' bit
You gonna get one hundred percent

I don't want nobody but you
Don't want nobody touching me, baby
But you
Don't want nobody kissing me, baby
But you
Don't want nobody loving me, baby
But you
But you, you, you

Everybody won't understand my journey
Everybody won't know how it heal what hurts me
Everybody can't be written into my story
Just because they want me don't mean they ready for me

Now I might throw a lil' fit, talk a lil' slick
I do this, yeah
I'm willing to go on and admit it that you a perfect fit
Baby, you the shit

I don't want nobody but you
Don't want nobody touching me, baby
But you
Don't want nobody kissing me, baby
But you
Don't want nobody loving me, baby
But you
But you, you, you

Never mind what you thought, you were in my heart
Never mind what you think, you were in my dreams
Never mind how it seems, you're my everything
Never mind

I don't want nobody but you
Don't want nobody touching me, baby
But you
Don't want nobody kissing me, baby
But you
Don't want nobody loving me, baby
But you




But you, you, you
I don't want nobody but you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Algebra's song Nobody But You express deep feelings of intimacy, trust, and dedication in a romantic relationship. The first verse sets the tone for the rest of the song by indicating that not everyone can be as close to the singer as the person they address in the song. They emote being comfortable with being themselves and even going to the extent of fussing and cursing a little bit without worrying whether the other person would leave. However, the singer asks for trust, promising the other person that they will receive one hundred percent in return.


The chorus reveals an essential element of the singer's desires: they want nobody but the person they address in the song. They don't want anyone else touching, kissing, or loving them, and they admit that the other person is a "perfect fit" and "the shit." As the song continues, we understand that the singer has been hurt before, and that not everyone who pursues them will be ready or able to handle what comes with a deep connection.


Overall, the song is an intimate declaration of trust and commitment from one person to their significant other. It's a reminder that not everyone can be let into our lives the way we let some people in, and it communicates the idea of being comfortable with oneself - flaws and all - around the person we love.

Righttt and yet been supa single so long omggg! I wasn’t lookin tho nor entertaining people barely even recognize any options cause shii what are options if not good options or they not makin it known but I just been healing, rebuilding, focused on me and mine and even mentally bein like if I have to be alone rather than choosing bs then I will and be/been ok with that…but I’m feelin like it’s time to open my eyes to it being still possible, to be more open to it, and there is one person right now I’m been feelin more and more who hopefully been changing for the better on certain stuff although they’re awesome and could be mutually complimentary in a lot of ways too and to possibly take a risk if they directly come forward frfr email or something πŸ˜‚ instead of subs leading to miscommunication, breadcrumbs reading too much into stuff not worth yo time cause been there done that and I definitely don’t pay attention to that or take that as them bein serious especially if not directly talkin to me I’ll miss the signal or if ever played on my top I’m genuinely not lookin at they shii consistently or ever not bout to back and forth play wit me or my feelings (I don’t want nobody who don’t want or even like me yes a healthy person should be turned off by that tf πŸ˜‚ especially as a woman don’t chase or be turned on by bad treatment although that works on toxic people or people who don’t value themselves but ain’t nothin to prove to a mf who don’t like or want you I’ll fight for love not for a mf to love me competing with other chics naw πŸ’―) plus fuq all that as a man he should be comin to me ijs and don’t expect me to openly do all that flirting on the net knowin he ain’t makin no real moves in real life or tryin to just want attention as if other people ain’t all over them but then want to take sub shots at you just cause you ain’t trippin over nothin substantial fr naw I’m good on that πŸ˜‚But yea we’ll see…comin in Nice & Slow I suppose πŸ˜©πŸ€¦πŸ½β€β™€οΈ But yes…this would be perfect for whoever my future husband is cause I’m definitely not made for everybody that’s fasho…but that energy been ridin me hard lately undeniably at this point😩 and it’s only one person I’m slick crushing on which is rare in itself but again…imma keep it to myself for now, tryin to stay focused on me, my children, try to be open towards dating as a whole still with discernment but tryin to eliminate the fear cause I realize I’m actually scared of dating I be in my head or freeze especially if it go from nobody to everybody tryin at once it’s overwhelming (can’t date any and everybody tho 😩) or freeze if they not being natural and too strategic or tryin to provoke responses out of me all over the place wit too much goin on naw I gotta pause/freeze like wtf really goin onnn πŸ˜©πŸ˜‚ I’ve always been a β€œget interested in one person and stick with that” type person although it’s recommended to date (not F) multiple people and choose the best option so I SHOULD do that but I barely let a first option in I just gotta feel it a certain way which is few and far between or i don’t want ittt 😩 I definitely got a lot of love inside to give to the right person mutually and although I’m slow to fallin in love, be in my head (gift and curse) but when I DO love a person I love hard, deep cause I try to consider both head and heart and CHOOSE to love them with devotion which can be good and bad if puttin yourself in the wrong hands so I yes I’m cautious and gotta feel safe to even want to love a person like that again or even the first time the RIGHT way! I want love to feel freeing or expansive, accepting, supportive, passionate, sexy that can’t keep ya hands off each other shii, honest and authentic (although he mine and I’m his ijs) that actually IS loving and flirty not JUST dutiful, stifling or restricting or like you’re enemies instead of on the same team ijs But I’m loyal to a fault so locked in he wouldn’t have to worry bout me wantin nobody else but him fasho if treated and loved right so yes…perfect song πŸ’―πŸ”ŠπŸŽΆπŸ₯°T&T🧨πŸ’₯🀞🏽πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ’ž
