NOBODY BUT YOU
Kimbra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't wanna be a broken record
Don't wanna see the same refrain
That I can't stop, I can't stop feel it again
I don't wanna fight the feeling
But it keeps fighting me
I can't stop, I can't stop of us frighting
I know I got you going in circles
And been proven money through my mind
I think I've finally found the nerve this time
To say, baby

I want nobody but you
Ain't nobody who can take all my doubts
And turn 'em upside down now
Baby, I'm not gon' get it confused
I'll come running with my heart open wide
I'm gonna give it all to you this time

And maybe I'm a little hasty
A little bit ahead of myself
But I can't stop, I can't stop
I need your help
My mind is like a rollercoaster
And baby you should ride with me
No I can't stop, I can't stop, so exciting
I know I had you goin' in circles
I'd be swinging you from side to side
I think I've finally found the nerve this time
To say, baby

I want nobody but you
Ain't nobody who can take all my doubts
And turn 'em upside down now
Baby, I'm not gon' get it confused
I'll come running with my heart open wide,
I'm gonna give it all to you this time

Listen, I stumble and I fall
I get so emotional
The voices in my head
They made me scared
But I needed some time
Just to make up my mind
But now your voice is clear to me
It's saying in my ears

Baby, I don't want nobody but you
'Cause there ain't nobody who can take all my doubts
And turn 'em upside down now
Baby, not gon' it confused
I'll come running with my heart open wide,
I'm gonna give it all, give it all to

Baby, I want nobody but you
Ain't nobody who can take all my doubts
And turn 'em upside down now
Baby, I'm not gon' get it confused
I'll come running with my heart open wide,
I'm gonna give it all to you, give it all to you this time

I'm gonna give it all to you baby

Baby, don't want nobody but you
Ain't nobody
Upside down, now
Baby don't want nobody but you
'Cause it ain't nobody
Upside down now
Baby I don't want nobody but you
Upside down now
Baby I don't want nobody but you




Upside down now
Baby I don't want nobody but you

Listen, I stumble and I fall
I get so emotional
The voices in my head
They made me scared
But I needed some time
Just to make up my mind
But now your voice is clear to me
It’s singin’ in my ear
To say ‘Baby!
I don't want nobody but you!’
Cos there ain’t nobody who can take all my doubts
And turn them upside down now
Baby! I’m not gonna get it confused!
I’ll come running with my heart on the line
I’m gonna give it all to you this time

This can be a Gospel song too I think.

I ABSOLUTELY ADORE KIMBRA AND HER IMAGINATION. She's so underrated it's killing me.

@cesaramor

I feel the same

@lizziepmusic

such a shame people are dissing her for branching out and going in new directions. got so much love for this girl, will love whatever she gives us!

@lizziepmusic

I agree with you about opinion and criticism, except I wasn't speaking for anyone else but myself. I have massive amounts of respect for Kimbra and love her voice to the point where I will probably continue to appreciate her music, no matter what, for a long time

@tas6029
