Nobody But You
Loggins Messina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Open up your eyes to the truth
You know it's a magic thing
A man needs a woman like you
You bring all the morning light
Like a sun through the window pane
You clear up the cloudy skies
You're refreshing as a morning rain
[Chorus:]
And I don't want nobody
I don't want nobody but you
And if I need anybody, Darling
You're the one that I would choose
I stumbled down Canyon Road
Just looking for the right way to love you
Every time I felt your doubt
And I heard the word from above
Hold on, she's coming soon
Woman who would change your whole life
And now that I have my choice
Well, I'm chosing you to be my wife
[Chorus]
Well I don't want nobody, nobody but you
And if I need anybody, Darling
You're the one that I would do
Nobody
I don't want nobody but you
And if I need anybody, Darling
You're the one that I would choose
