No One Better Than You
Petula Clark Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Better than you, no, no
In the world there's nothing
Better to do, you see
Than to be with you
And to share with you
My love
Just to sit on a sunny day
And watch the sun
Melt the clouds away
Just you and me
Wishing we could
Stay together always
No one else
In the world could be
Just what you are
What you are to me
And what you are
Is all that I can see
When we're together
No one knows what love is
Better than you do
(No one knows what love is
Better than you do)
No one shows what love is
Better than you do
(No one knows what love is
Better than you do)
Put some love my way
And I promise that
I will stay with you
For there's a page in my diary
An empty page showing
I'll be free to be with you
If you wanna be
We'll be together
Let me be your love
What we do a lot
And if you like
We can say we've got
The kind of love
That can't be forgot
A love forever
For me, there's
No one better than you
There is nothing better to do
Than to share my life with you
For me, there's
No one better than you
There is nothing better to do
Than to share my life with you
In Petula Clark's No One Better Than You, the singer expresses their intense affection for their partner, insisting that no one else in the world could compare to them.

Together, they can while away a sunny day, simply enjoying each other's company and forgetting everything else. The singer promises to stay with their lover if they will show them a little affection in return, and even goes so far as to suggest that they could have a love that would last forever, never to be forgotten. The song ends on a joyful note, with the singer expressing happiness and contentment in their life with their beloved partner.
Overall, No One Better Than You is a classic love song that speaks to the depth of feeling that can arise between two people. It is not just about being in love, but about the sense of connection and contentment that comes from being with someone who truly understands and complements you. The song is a reminder that even when the world feels overwhelming or uncertain, you can always find peace and happiness in the company of someone you love.

There is nothing better to do
The only thing worth doing and enjoying in this world is loving you
Than to share my life with you
I can't wait for us to enjoy life together, in all its ups and downs

I absolutely loved this song when I was younger. Such a talented person.

Her first single release after parting from the prolific Hatch-Trent hits. A shame it didn't do better, but I guess by '69 tastes were changing. It's STILL a great song. Thanks for posting it!
Tom Smith
Thani you for posting this song, I love it and have been looking for it. Unfortunately, it chart very high on most charts, but it did reach #18 on the AC chart, making it a successful record. I've always thought it was an enjoyable,catchy song.

"Look at Mine" (her WHAT?) was another somewhat overlooked hit.
