Internationally, Green is best known for his soul work: his most popular was Gnarls Barkley's 2006 worldwide hit "Crazy", which reached number one in various singles charts worldwide, including the UK. In the United States, "Crazy" reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100. Its parent album St. Elsewhere, was also a hit, reaching number one on the UK Albums Chart and number four on the US Billboard 200 albums chart. Gnarls Barkley's second album, The Odd Couple (2008), charted at number 12 on the Billboard 200.
In 2010, Green took a break from working with Gnarls Barkley and released the single "Fuck You!" on August 19 as a solo artist. The song was a hit, with the radio-edit version "Forget You" reaching the top spot in the UK and the Netherlands and charting at number two on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Its parent album, The Lady Killer (2010), saw similar success, peaking within the top five of the UK Albums Chart and debuting within the top 10 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, and receiving a Gold certification from the BPI in the UK. His next two single, "It's OK" and "Bright Lights Bigger City" were also hits in Europe.
No One's Gonna Love You
CeeLo Green Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or altogether just taken apart
We're reeling through an endless fall
We are the ever-living ghost of what once was
But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do
It's a better side of you to admire
But they should never take so long
Just to be over then back to another one
But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do
But someone should have warned you
When things start splitting at the seams and now
The whole thing's tumbling down
Things start splitting at the seams and now
If things start splitting at the seams and now
It's tumbling down, hard
I did anything to make you smile
You are the ever-living ghost of what once was
I never want to hear you say
That your better off
Or you liked it that way
'Cause no one is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do
They really should have warned you
When things start splitting at the seams and now
The whole thing's tumbling down
Things start splitting at the seams and now
If things start splitting at the seams and now
It's tumbling down, hard
CeeLo Green's song "No One's Gonna Love You" is a poetic description of a relationship that has ended, leaving both parties feeling as though they've lost a part of themselves. The opening lines, "It's looking like a limb torn off / Or altogether just taken apart," sets the tone for the rest of the song by introducing a sense of loss and destruction. The singer realizes that they are "reeling through an endless fall," recognizing that they are caught in the aftermath of the end of the relationship.
The central message of the song lies in the chorus, where the singer repeats the lyrics, "But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do / No one's gonna love you more than I do." This repetition underscores the depth of the singer's feelings and their conviction that their love is incomparable. However, the song is bitterly ironic, as the listener realizes that these words serve as a belated warning about what has been irretrievably damaged.
The final lines bring things full circle, with the singer admitting that they did "anything to make you smile," but that it was all for naught. The repetition of the opening line, "You are the ever-living ghost of what once was," serves as a haunting reminder of the relationship's dissolution. Overall, "No One's Gonna Love You" is a deeply affecting song that captures the heartbreak and grief that comes with the end of love.
Line by Line Meaning
It's looking like a limb torn off
Life feels like it's been ripped apart like a limb torn off
Or altogether just taken apart
It feels like everything has been taken apart and disassembled
We're reeling through an endless fall
Life feels like a continuous fall with no end in sight
We are the ever-living ghost of what once was
We are just a shadow of our former selves, haunted by memories of the past
But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do
There is no one who can love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do
My love for you is unmatched by anyone else
And anything to make you smile
I will do anything to bring a smile to your face
It's a better side of you to admire
I love the side of you that smiles and is happy
But they should never take so long
But it shouldn't take so much effort to make you happy
Just to be over then back to another one
And it shouldn't be a cycle of temporary happiness followed by sadness again
But someone should have warned you
Someone should have warned you about the consequences of your actions
When things start splitting at the seams and now
When things start to fall apart and show signs of failure
The whole thing's tumbling down
Everything is collapsing and falling apart
I never want to hear you say
I never want to hear you say that
That your better off
You are better off without me
Or you liked it that way
Or that you prefer it that way
'Cause no one is ever gonna love you more than I do
Because I truly believe there is no one who can love you more than I do
They really should have warned you
They really should have warned you of the consequences of your actions
If things start splitting at the seams and now
If things start to fall apart and show signs of failure
It's tumbling down, hard
Everything is falling apart, fast and hard
