Nobody But You
Cesar Sampson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lord, I'm gonna get so high tonight
I'm gonna let the floodgates open wide
I'm in open water
It's what I need
Though I try to get you off my mind

And I get no sleep
I'm in too deep
I can't let you leave

It wouldn't be right letting you go running away from love
Ain't nobody but you I can hold onto
So am I right giving my all making you stay tonight?
Ain't nobody but you (ain't nobody)
I can hold onto (ain't nobody)

Hey
Lord, I'm gonna bring you back tonight
Oh you're running circles round my mind
After your words have been my Bible
How could I search for someone new?
When I really want you by my side

And I get no sleep
I'm in too deep
To let you leave

It wouldn't be right letting you go running away from love
Ain't nobody but you (ain't nobody)
I can hold onto (ain't nobody)
So am I wrong giving my all making you stay tonight?
Ain't nobody but you (ain't nobody)
I can hold onto (ain't nobody)

Don't make me tear my heart out
I'm shaking 'til I fall down
Don't make me tear my heart out
Don't make me tear my heart out
I'm shaking 'til I fall down
Don't make me tear my heart out

It wouldn't be right letting you go running away
Ain't nobody but you I can hold onto
So am I wrong giving my all making you stay tonight?
Ain't nobody but you (ain't nobody)
I can hold onto (ain't nobody)
It wouldn't be right letting you go running away from love
Ain't nobody but you (ain't nobody)




I can hold onto (ain't nobody)
Ain't nobody but you

To me this was the best Eurovision by far...

Had at least 5 major songs that I though would win in my vote..

Cesar Sampson singing this.
Higher ground.
Bones.
And the catchy window maid song and 2 2 guys In it..


This was just after my mum past away and this was a show that I felt so uplifted and felt like my mum was with us.

"Nobody But You"

Lord, I'm gonna get so high tonight
I'm gonna let the floodgates open wide
I'm in open water
This is what I need
And though I try to get you off my mind

And I get no sleep
I'm in too deep
I can't let you leave

It wouldn't be right letting you go running away from love
Ain't nobody but you I can hold onto
So am I wrong giving my all making you stay tonight?
Ain't nobody but you I can hold onto
(Ain't nobody, ain't nobody)

(Hey)
Lord, I'm gonna bring you back tonight, girl
Oh, you're running circles round my mind
After your words have been my bible
How can I search for someone new?
When I really want you by my side

And I get no sleep
I'm in too deep
To let you leave

It wouldn't be right letting you go running away from love
Ain't nobody but you I can hold onto
(Ain't nobody, ain't nobody)
So am I wrong giving my all making you stay tonight?
Ain't nobody but you I can hold onto
(Ain't nobody, ain't nobody)

Don't make me tear my heart out
I'm shaking 'til I fall down
Don't make me tear my heart out
Don't make me tear my heart out
I'm shaking 'til I fall down
Don't make me tear my heart out

It wouldn't be right letting you go running away
Ain't nobody but you I can hold onto
So am I wrong giving my all making you stay tonight?
Ain't nobody but you I can hold onto
(Ain't nobody, ain't nobody)
It wouldn't be right letting you go running away from love
Ain't nobody but you I can hold onto
(Ain't nobody, ain't nobody)

Ain't nobody but you
