But None Like You
Frank Sinatra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The world is full of people, but none like you,
They're ordinary people, but none like you.
How far away is yesterday before you came along.
It seemed to be just a dream to me, until you proved here on.
The lanes are full of lovers, but none like you,

Just ordinary lovers, not dreams like you,
I shut my eyes to realize this grand surprise is true,
That I'm the lucky one who found you.




I shut my eyes to realize this grand surprise is true,
That I'm the lucky one who found you.

Overall Meaning

In the first verse of Frank Sinatra's song "But None Like You," he sings about how the world is full of people, but none of them compare to the person he's singing to. He expresses that there are ordinary people out there, but this person is unique and special. Sinatra then reflects on his life before this person came along, where yesterday seemed so far away and almost like a dream. But now, with this person in his life, everything seems more real and tangible.


In the second verse, Sinatra sings about how there are many lovers out there, but again - none like the person he's singing to. He emphasizes that these lovers are ordinary and not like the dream-like quality that the person he's singing to possesses. He then repeats the last two lines in both verses, where he shuts his eyes and realizes that he's the lucky one who found this amazing person. This song is a beautiful tribute to someone that Sinatra deeply cares about and values.


Overall, "But None Like You" is a romantic and heartfelt song that captures the feeling of finding someone special and unique. Sinatra's powerful vocals convey the depth of his emotions, and the lyrics paint a picture of a love that is truly one-of-a-kind.

on The Lady Is A Champ

eight

She gets too hungry for dinner at eight
She can't eat late and stay up all night, because unlike society types, she has to get up in the morning.

She likes the theatre and never comes late
She cares more about seeing the play than being seen making an entrance.

She never bothers with people she'd hate
Her friends are friends, not social trophies.

Doesn't like crap games with barons or earls
While barrns and earls probably don't play craps, she associates with friends, not people to be seen with.

Won't go to Harlem in ermine and pearls
She doesn't "slum", the practice of the rich in the 30's, when the song was written, of touring poor neighborhoods dressed in rich clothes to "tut, tut" about the deplorable conditions, and congratulate each other for "caring about the poor"

Won't dish the dirt with the rest of the girls
Doesn't trade gossip for acceptance among an in-crowd


She likes the free, fresh wind in her hair
She cares more about how her hair feels than conforming with current hair fashions

Hates California, it's cold and it's damp
Since most of California is noticeably warmer and / or drier than New York, where the play the song was written for is set, this is probably a facetious excuse to like what she likes.


And she won't go to Harlem in Lincoln's or Ford's
Another reference to slumming, but facetious, since Lincolns and Fords were middle-class, not luxury brands when the lyric was written

Here are the correct lyrics

Try A Little Tenderness - Frank Sinatra - Lyrics

Oh she may be weary
Women do get wearied
Wearing that same old shabby dress
And when she’s weary
You try a little tenderness

You know she’s waiting
Just anticipating things she’ll may never possess
While she is without them
Try just a little bit of tenderness

It’s not just sentimental
She has her grieve and her care
And the words that soft and gentle
Makes it easier to bear
You wont regret it
Women don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness
And it’s all so easy
Try a little tenderness

Musical Interlude

And, it’s all so easy
Try a little tenderness
