Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Nobody But You" by Kimbrough Junior express the singer's unwavering devotion to his lover. The repetition of the phrase "nobody but you" emphasizes the singular importance of this person in the singer's life. The first stanza establishes the significance of the person by repeating the phrase "on my mind" twice. The following two stanzas reveal the singer's vulnerability and desperation as he pleads with his lover not to leave him. The line "Baby, I'm on my knees" is a metaphor for the singer's surrender to his lover's power and influence over him.


The chorus returns to the central theme of the song, emphasizing the exclusivity of the singer's love. His dedication to this person is so strong that he doesn't need anyone else in his life. The final stanza expresses the depth of the singer's feelings - "I love you, girl" - and again repeats the importance of this person in his life. The song is a declaration of love and loyalty, and a plea for reciprocation.
