Michael Bublé’s introduction to the music of the swing era came to him through his grandfather, who filled his grandson’s ears with the sounds of The Mills Brothers, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and others. As Bublé eagerly absorbed the recordings, he began to realize that he wanted to be a singer and that this style of music, virtually foreign to his own generation, was what he wanted to perform.
With his grandfather’s assistance, Bublé soon learned a whole catalog of tunes and gained experience and exposure by singing as a guest with several local bands. While still in his teen years, he won the Canadian Youth Talent Search, released several independent albums, and performed in a musical review titled Swing that traveled across the U.S. It wasn’t long before Bublé was introduced to Grammy-winning producer David Foster during a famous Canadian wedding of Brian Mulroney’s daughter Caroline Mulroney. He later signed his first major recording contract with Reprise Records after that encounter.
The two Canadians began work on a debut album that would incorporate Bublé’s aptitude for pop standards into songs that spanned several decades. His self-titled debut disc was released in early 2003, and featured jazzy takes on old standards like “Fever” and “The Way You Look Tonight” as well as newer classics like “Moondance” and “How Can You Mend A Broken Heart”.
He finished off 2003 with an EP of holiday material, Let It Snow, and began 2004 with the live CD/DVD set Come Fly With Me. In 2005, It’s Time was a number one hit in Canada, Japan, Italy, and Australia, and made the top ten of both the UK and US. Later that year he released the live album Caught in the Act. More recently, Michael received a 2010 Grammy Award for 'Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album' for 'Michael Bublé Meets Madison Square Garden.
Nobody But Me
Michael Bublé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But how the hell can I help it?
When I'm thinkin' on you
Maybe, I might get a little reckless
But you gotta expect that
What else can a boy do?
My momma taught me how to share
But I'll be selfish and I don't care
Now I don't want anybody loving my baby
Nobody (nobody) nobody (nobody), nobody but me, hey
Now I don't want anybody thinking just maybe
Nobody (nobody) nobody (nobody), nobody but me, hey
And I know when you got a lovely lady
It might drive the boys crazy
When she's looking so fine, woah
I know, know, know that no one would ever blame me
The only thing that could save me
Is just knowing your mine
My papa told me once or twice
Don't be cruel but don't be too nice
'Cause I want you, I need you all for me
'Cause I don't want anybody loving my baby
Nobody (nobody) nobody (nobody), nobody but me, hey
And I don't want anybody thinking just maybe
Nobody (nobody) nobody (nobody), nobody but me, hey
Hey, we make beautiful music together, how you make my heart sing
Move into the side with us and never be apart thing
Work of art thing, the way you pull me like a harp string
Every moment spent is worth it, that's the perfect part, see
I like whatever you like, we had to do right
And do like, two sovereign nations and try to unite
I'm proud of you, like a treasure, you're the one I'm cherishing
Every other girl is silly, paling in comparison
I know, I get a bit jealous
But how the hell can I help it?
I'm so in love with you
I don't want anybody loving my baby
Nobody (nobody) nobody (nobody), nobody but me, hey
I don't want anybody loving my baby
Nobody (nobody) nobody (nobody), nobody but me, hey
Oh my papa told me once or twice
Don't be cruel, don't be too nice
My baby needs no lies for me
Oh, and I know how to share
But I'll be selfish, I don't care
My baby don't need no one but me
