Nobody But U
Guillermo E. Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come lay your cool hand on my brow
And promise me that you will
Never be nobody's darlin' but mine
Be nobody's darlin' but mine
Love be honest be faithful be kind
And promise me that you will
You're as sweet as the flowers of springtime
You're as pure as the dew from the rose
I had rather be somebody's darlin'
Than a poor boy that nobody knows
Be nobody's darlin' but mine love
The lyrics to Guillermo E. Brown's song Nobody But U describe the singer's desire for the person they are addressing to remain exclusively theirs. The song opens with an invitation for the person to "sit by my side" and "lay your cool hand on my brow," creating an intimate image of physical closeness. The singer then asks for a promise that the person will "never be nobody's darlin' but mine," emphasizing their desire for exclusivity and commitment. The repeated phrase "be nobody's darlin' but mine" serves as a reminder of the singer's possessiveness and need for assurance.
The second verse deepens the singer's emotional attachment to this person, praising them as "sweet as the flowers of springtime" and "pure as the dew from the rose." The third line, "I had rather be somebody's darlin' / Than a poor boy that nobody knows," reveals the singer's insecurity and fear of losing their beloved to someone else. The final line repeats the refrain from the first verse, cementing the importance of this promise to the singer's relationship.

Come sit by my side little darlin'
Please come and sit next to me, my dear.
Come lay your cool hand on my brow
Place your comforting hand on my forehead.
And promise me that you will
Swear to me that you will,
Never be nobody's darlin' but mine
Never be in a relationship with anyone else but me.
Be nobody's darlin' but mine
Do not be anyone else's beloved besides me.
Love be honest be faithful be kind
Have true love with loyalty and benevolence.
And promise me that you will
And swear to me that you will,
Never be nobody's darlin' but mine
Never be in a relationship with anyone else but me.
You're as sweet as the flowers of springtime
You are as lovely as the blooms of spring.
You're as pure as the dew from the rose
You are as innocent as the dewdrops on a rose.
I had rather be somebody's darlin'
I would rather be someone's beloved
Than a poor boy that nobody knows
Than being an obscure and impoverished man.
