Christina Aguilera Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why, why, why

There you are,
In a darkened room
And you're all alone,
Looking out the window
Your heart is cold and
Lost the will to love
Like a broken arrow
Here I stand
In the shadows

In the shadows

Come to come,
Come to me

Can't you see that

Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
My body's longing
To hold you
So bad it hurts inside
Time is precious and
It's slipping away
And I've been waiting
For you all of my life
(Oh)
Nobody wants to be lonely
So why (why),
Why don't you
Let me love you

Why (ooh oh yeah),
Why (oh why), why

Ooh ooh, yeah
Can you hear my voice,
Do you hear my song
It's a seranade,
So your heart
Can find me, oh
And suddenly you're
Flying down the stairs
Into my arms,
Baby, oh

Before I start going crazy

Going crazy, oh

Run to me

Run to me

'Cause I'm dying

Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
(I don't want to cry)
My body's longing
To hold you
(I'm longing to hold you)
So bad it hurts inside
Time is precious and
It's slipping away
And I've been waiting
For you all of my life
(Oh)
Nobody wants to be lonely
So why

Why, why don't you
Let me love you

I want to feel you need me

Feel you need me

Just like the air
You're breathing

Breathing, I need you
Here in my life

Don't walk away,
Don't walk away
Don't walk alay,
Don't walk away
No, no, no, no

Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
Yeah yeah

Nobody wants to be lonely
(Yeah oh ooh)
Nobody wants to cry
(Nobody wants to cry)
My body's longing
To hold you
(Is longing to hold you)
So bad it hurts inside
(Hurts inside)
Time is precious and
It's slipping away
And I've been waiting
For you all of my life
(Oh)
Nobody wants to be lonely
So why (why), why don't you
Let me love you
Let me love you

Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
(Nobody wants to cry)
My body's longing
To hold you
(I'm longing to hold you)
So bad it hurts inside
(So hurt inside)
Time is precious and
It's slipping away
And I've been waiting
For you all of my life
Nobody wants to be lonely
So why (why),
Why don't you
Let me love you

Why (why),
Let me love you
Why don't you
Let me love you
Why, love you,
Let me love you

Overall Meaning

The song Nobody Wants to Be Lonely by Ricky Martin is a powerful ballad about the pain of loneliness and the desire for love. The song begins by describing the feelings of being alone in a darkened room and losing the will to love. Martin sings about standing in the shadows, waiting for his love to come to him. He pleads for the listener to understand that nobody wants to be lonely, nobody wants to cry, and that he's been waiting for them all his life to come back to him. The chorus repeats the line "nobody wants to be lonely" and emphasizes the importance of love and human connection.


The second verse brings in more imagery of serenades and the longing for the listener's heart to find him. The bridge is a passionate plea for the listener not to walk away and to let him love them. The song ends with a final repetition of the chorus as Martin begs for the listener to let him love them.

There you are, in a darkened room
And you're all alone, looking out the window
Your heart is cold and lost the will to love

Here I stand in the shadows (In the shadows)
Come to come, come to me
Can't you see that...

[Chorus: Ricky Martin & Christina Aguilera]
Nobody wants to be lonely?
Nobody wants to cry
My body's longing to hold you
So bad, it hurts inside
Time is precious and it's slipping away
And I've been waiting for you all of my life
Nobody wants to be lonely
So why (Why), why don't you let me love you?
Why, why, oh, why?

[Verse 2: Christina Aguilera & Ricky Martin, Both]
Can you hear my voice? Do you hear my song?
It's a serenade, so your heart can find me, oh
And suddenly, you're flying down the stairs
Into my arms, baby, oh
Before I start going crazy (Goin' crazy)
Run to me (Run to me) 'cause I'm dying

[Chorus: Ricky Martin & Christina Aguilera]
Nobody wants to be lonely (Wants to be lonely)
Nobody wants to cry
My body's longing to hold you (I'm longing to hold you)
So bad it hurts inside
Time is precious and it's slipping away
And I've been waiting for you all of my life
Nobody wants to be lonely
So why (Why), why don't you let me love you?

Behind their "cool sounding music" lies list of sick and evil rituals, the all must do in order to have their time in the spotlight. For there is A PRICE to everything, including the rich and famous lives on this earth.
Mark 1:13
And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.
Hebrews 2:18
For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
Hebrews 4:15
For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Luke 4:2
Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.
Matthew 4:10
Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.


James 4:7 - Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
2 Corinthians 2:11
Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
1 Thessalonians 3:5
For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain.


The same way Christ was tempted, so are all humans also tempted:
“Bow down to lucifer and all the earthly riches he will give to you” – and that's how we got our human entertainers (singers, actors, influencers), they were tempted with the “cool lives to live on earth” and they fell for it. The Blood Contract – as they all call it, and at the end of it, the biggest price to pay.
Why did they fell? - because mankind is no longer raised up with the truth and in the truth.

Proverbs 22:6 - Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Sadly we do the opposite with the younger generations and train them up all the ways they should not go. Leaving them in danger of getting tempted by satan and without the Armour of GOD.

Ephesians 6:11 - Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
