Nobody But Me
Eightball & M.J.G. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If only you were here to lay with me, lay with me
Long days, and longer nights don't feel right
If you're not here by my side, by my side
I'm thinking of running away
Into your arms to a place
Where I know that I'm gonna stay, gonna stay
But I'm only hearing the words
That you left me with on that day, on that day
'Cause I don't really care for
No, I don't really care for, nobody but you
Nobody but you, baby, no
The only one I'm there for
No, I don't really care for
Nobody but you
Nobody but you, baby
Nobody but you, you, you, you, you, you
Nobody but you, you, you, you, you, you
Lately, I'm faded, it's hazy
Won't you come and clear my mind, clear my mind
I won't be, safe tonight
When you're the only comfort in my life, oh in my life
I'm thinking of running away
Into your arms to a place
Where I know that I'm gonna stay, gonna stay
'Cause I don't really care for
No, I don't really care for, nobody but you
Nobody, nobody but you baby, no
You're the only one I'm there for
The only one I care for
Nobody but you
Nobody but you, baby
Nobody but you, you, you, you, you, you
Nobody but you, you, you, you, you, you
Nobody, nobody baby
Nobody, nobody baby
Nobody, nobody baby, baby, baby
'Cause I don't really care for
No, I don't really care for
Nobody but you
Nobody but you baby, no
You're the only one I'm there for
The only one I care for
Nobody but you
Nobody but you baby
Nobody but you

The repeated "nobody but you" emphasizes the strength of their devotion and love for their partner.
