No One But You
Kitty Wells & Red Foley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now when I'm by myself dear who do I want near
Who no one but you
Now when I want some loving some old fashioned hugging
It's you no one but you

You've got me talking my sleep sometimes even I can't eat
My heart don't beat the way it used to you
You've got me rocking and reeling honey I've got a funny feeling
Over you no one but you

Now when I got to sleep at night I wonder if you're home alright
You I'm thinking of you
Now you're my only baby and you're driving me crazy
You I'm thinking of you

I hope the time's not far away we can plan our wedding day
And then I'll have you for my very own




I'm not plannin' to be hasty but maybe someday baby
I'll have you no one but you
