No One
Alicia Keys Ft Shaggy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just want you close
Where you can stay forever
You can be sure
That it will only get better

You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cause

Everything's gonna be alright
People keep talking, they can say what they like
But all I know is everything's gonna be alright

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you

When the rain is pouring down
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around
This I know for certain

You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cause
Everything's gonna be alright (yes, it will)
People keep talking, they can say what they like
But all I know is everything's gonna be alright

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel, say it

I know some people search the world
To find something like what we have
I know people will try, try to divide something so real
So 'til the end of time, I'm telling you there ain't no one

No one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (oh), oh (oh), oh (oh), oh (oh), oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (oh), oh (oh), oh (oh), oh (oh), oh
(No one)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohh)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (no one)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (oh), oh (oh), oh (oh), oh (oh), oh
Can get in the way, not for a minute, baby
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (no one)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (no one)
Oh, oh, oh, oh (can get in the way of what I feel for you)

Yeah
Thank you

Keys' sentiment that "some people search the world to find something like what we have" emphasizes her understanding of how rare and valuable their connection is.
