Nobody Does It Better
Carly Simon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it half as good as you
Baby, you're the best
I wasn't lookin' but somehow you found me
I tried to hide from your love light
But like heaven above me
Is keepin' all my secrets safe tonight
And nobody does it better
Though sometimes I wish someone could
Nobody does it quite the way you do
Why'd you have to be so good?
The way that you hold me
Whenever you hold me
There's some kind of magic inside you
That keeps me from runnin'
But just keep it comin'
How'd you learn to do the things you do?
And nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it half as good as you
Baby, baby
Darlin', you're the best
Baby, you're the best
Baby, you're the best
Sweet baby, you're the best
Darlin', you're the best
Darlin', you're the best
Sweet baby, you're the best
Baby, you're the best
Sweet baby
"Nobody Does It Better" is a song by Carly Simon released in 1977 as the theme song for the James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me. The song is widely considered one of the greatest Bond theme songs ever recorded, and has remained a beloved classic for decades. The lyrics convey the feeling of being completely enamored with someone, and how they are the best at everything they do.
The opening lyrics, "Nobody does it better, makes me feel sad for the rest," describe how the singer feels about the person they are singing about. They feel like no one else can compare to them and they are the best at everything they do. The singer also talks about how they didn't even realize they were looking for someone until that perfect person found them, as conveyed in the lines "I wasn't lookin' but somehow you found me, I tried to hide from your love light."
The song's chorus repeats the message that the person being sung about is the best, but also acknowledges that sometimes it would be nice if someone else could do it just as well to provide a bit of variety. The lyrics "Nobody does it quite the way you do, why'd you have to be so good?" show that the singer is aware that their partner's skills and charms are unparalleled, but also a little jealous of their apparent perfection.
In summary, "Nobody Does It Better" is a romantic ballad about being completely enamored with someone and acknowledging that they are the best at whatever they do. The lyrics convey a sense of admiration and awe for the person being sung about, and the wish that someone else could do it just as well to add a bit of variety.
Line by Line Meaning
Nobody does it better
No one can do what you do the way you do it
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Your excellence makes me realize no one else can compare
Nobody does it half as good as you
Others are not even close to your level of proficiency
Baby, you're the best
You're the greatest at what you do
I wasn't lookin' but somehow you found me
I was not searching, but you discovered me anyway
I tried to hide from your love light
I attempted to conceal myself from your affection
But like heaven above me
However, just like heaven up above
The spy who loved me
The person who cared for me
Is keepin' all my secrets safe tonight
Is protecting all my confidential information this very evening
Though sometimes I wish someone could
Although at times, I desire someone else to
Why'd you have to be so good?
Why do you have to be extremely talented and skilled?
The way that you hold me
The method that you embrace me
Whenever you hold me
Anytime you take me in your arms
There's some kind of magic inside you
You possess some sort of inexplicable enchantment
That keeps me from runnin'
That prevents me from fleeing
But just keep it comin'
But continue doing what you're doing
How'd you learn to do the things you do?
I wonder how you acquired such abilities and talents
Baby, baby
Sweetheart, my love
Darlin', you're the best
My dearest, you're exceptional
Sweet baby, you're the best
My lovely one, you're unbeatable

It's hard to express to young people today how carefree and how much fun the 70s and 80's were.
