Ain't Nobody
Jaki Graham Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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.
Line by Line Meaning
Captured effortlessly
I fell in love easily and naturally
That's the way it was
It wasn't anyone's fault, it just happened
Happened so naturally
Our love was not forced or contrived
I did not know it was love
I didn't realize my feelings were love until later
The next thing I felt was
Suddenly, I was feeling
You holding me close
Being in your arms made me feel safe and loved
What was I gonna do?
I was helpless to resist your love
I let myself go
I surrender myself to your love
And now we're flyin' through the star
We are together and in love
I hope this night will last forever
I want to hold onto this moment forever
I've been waitin' for you
I have been searching for someone like you
It's been so long
I have waited a long time for love
I knew just what I would do
I knew I would fall in love with you
When I heard your song
When I met you, I knew we were meant to be together
Filled my heart with your bliss
Your love brought me joy and happiness
Gave me freedom
Your love gave me the freedom to be myself
You knew I could not resist
You knew your love was too strong for me to resist
I needed someone
I was looking for love and companionship
Oh oh oh oh
I wait for night time to come
I look forward to spending time with you at night
And bring you to me
I long for your presence beside me
Can't believe I'm the one
I feel blessed to have your love
I was so lonely
I was alone and searching for someone to love
I feel like no one could feel
I thought that no one could understand my loneliness
I must be dreamin'
I can't believe that my dreams have come true
I want this dream to be real
I hope that our love is forever
I need this feelin'
I need your love and the way it makes me feel
I make my wish upon a star
I hope that our love lasts forever
And hope this night will last forever
I want to cherish this moment forever
And first you put your arms around me
You showed me your love through your embrace
Then you put your charms around me
Your love and affection captivated me
I can't resist this sweet surrender
I am completely devoted to your love
Oh my nights are warm and tender
Our nights together are full of warmth and love
We stare into each other's eyes
Our love is intense and passionate
And what we see is no surprise
Our love is natural and meant to be
Got a feeling most with treasure
Our love is special and valuable
And a love so deep we cannot measure
Our love is immeasurable and endless
Ain't nobody
No one else
Loves me better
Loves me more
Makes me happy
Brings me joy
Makes me feel this way
Makes me feel loved and special
Loves me better than you
Your love is unique and special, and I wouldn't trade it for anything else

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.
