Nobody but You
Michael Feinstein Lyrics

In Michael Feinstein's song "Nobody But You," the lyrics describe a deep desire for someone special. The opening lines set the tone, with an emphasis on how the singer has seen and encountered many people, yet was not moved until they met this individual. The word choice of "fall" implies the kind of attraction which accompanies an intense emotional pull. The refrain, "Nobody but you, nobody will do," then reinforces this idea that there is no other person who could match up to this individual's standards. The lyrics then repeat the question, "Who's locked in my heart?" which hammers home the idea that this person is deeply engrained in the individual's emotions. The use of the phrase "little yum yum" is a playful and affectionate way to refer to this person the singer is so drawn to. Overall, the lyrics of "Nobody But You" paint a picture of someone who has truly found the one they have been looking for and who they want to be with for the long haul.
