Nobody but you
Cody Fry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Forever is a long way off
I wish that I could make the earth move a little slower
Forever won't be long enough
I don't wanna love nobody but you, nobody but you
For the rest of my life nobody but you, nobody but you
Wouldn't it be something if you felt the way I do
Nobody but you I wanna love
We've got our own way of talking, crazy little phrases
If we don't have a word we just make one up
No one understands it
I wanna learn everything about you
Do anything that we wanna do
Forever won't be long enough, no
I don't wanna love nobody but you, nobody but you
For the rest of my life nobody but you, nobody but you
Wouldn't it be something if you felt the way I do
‘Cause I don't wanna love nobody but you
Nobody but you I wanna love
I found a rose in the desert, love that I could never measure
You know I wanna be yours if you'll be mine
And I know even when we're getting
older I'm still gonna wanna hold you
Forever won't be love enough, no
I don't wanna love nobody but you, nobody but you
For the rest of my life nobody but you, nobody but you
Wouldn't it be something if you felt the way I do
‘Cause I don't wanna love nobody but you
Nobody but you I wanna love
