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.

She's seriously underrated

@bellathelady

Yes, and always the artists that can really "sing." Avery Sunshine, Ledisi, and Keke Wyatt are also in the underrated category, sad to say, but I love them : ))
