Ain't Nobody
Jaki Graham Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Captured effortlessly
That's the way it was
Happened so naturally
I did not know it was love
The next thing I felt was
You holding me close
What was I gonna do?
I let myself go

And now we're flyin' through the star
I hope this night will last forever

I've been waitin' for you
It's been so long
I knew just what I would do
When I heard your song
Filled my heart with your bliss
Gave me freedom
You knew I could not resist
I needed someone

And now we're flyin' through the stars
I hope this night will last forever
Oh oh oh oh

Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way
Ain't nobody
Loves me better than you

I wait for night time to come
And bring you to me
Can't believe I'm the one
I was so lonely
I feel like no one could feel
I must be dreamin'
I want this dream to be real
I need this feelin'

I make my wish upon a star
And hope this night will last forever

Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way
Ain't nobody
Loves me better than you

And first you put your arms around me
Then you put your charms around me
I can't resist this sweet surrender
Oh my nights are warm and tender
We stare into each other's eyes
And what we see is no surprise
Got a feeling most with treasure
And a love so deep we cannot measure

Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way




Ain't nobody
Loves me better than you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jaki Graham's song Ain't Nobody speak about a love that seems to have come out of nowhere but feels completely natural, effortless, and eternal. The first verse speaks about the experience of falling in love when one doesn't quite recognize the feeling initially but is eventually swept up in the moment, letting oneself go. The chorus speaks of the unparalleled love that the person feels and how nobody else could bring them the kind of happiness that this person does.


The second verse speaks about the intense longing the person has had to find someone to love them, and how this person seems to have understood them completely. The chorus is repeated, emphasizing the deep love and affection that the person feels. The bridge speaks of the physical and emotional surrender to the love they share, with the lyrics painting a vivid picture of the overwhelming sensation of being lost in each other's eyes.


The song's message is powerful and universal, speaking to the idea that when two people truly connect, there is nothing that can stand in the way of that love. The lyrics themselves are simple, yet they convey a powerful message about the nature of love.

Jaki GrahamHer output beyond the 1980s has been neither as prolific or high-profile, with many of her albums seeing release only in Japan, where she remains popular.[1] Graham's biggest international success was reaching number one on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in 1994, with her cover version of Chaka Khan's hit, "Ain't Nobody".

Jackie Churchill

wow just heard this version first time amazing. jakki does it again.

Roger Howard

In my opinion, This music video was the best music video Jaki Graham made in her career. It represented the classic female soul singer (like Jaki), embracing the Fullest potential of the Technological Digital Age. Jaki Graham in her other music videos, never looks so beautiful, as she does in this music video.
