Nobody Else
Robbie Dupree Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wonder if you think of me
Or is it just a fantasy
Here inside my heart?
While you're gone
Ain't nothin' seem to go my way
I wish that you could always stay
Here inside my heart
'Cause nobody else
Can love you like I do
And nobody else
Can hold you like I do
And nobody else
Can do the things I do
It's all for you
Have you found
That someone you've been lookin' for?
Can he really give you more
Than what I offer you?
Maybe someday
You might find the time to be
More than just a fantasy
And take me in your arms
'Cause nobody else
Can love you like I do
And nobody else
Can hold you like I do
And nobody else
Can do the things I do
Nobody love you
Just like I love you, baby
Nobody else (No, nobody)
Nobody love you ('Body else, no, nobody)
Ain't nobody love you ('Body else, no, nobody)
(Nobody else, nobody else, nobody else)
Please know I love you
('Body else, no, nobody)
No, ain't nobody can love you better
('Body else, no, nobody)
Ain't nobody gonna love you like I love you, baby
('Body else, no, nobody)
(No, nobody)
No, no, no, no baby
('Body else, no, nobody)
(No, nobody)
('Body else, no, nobody)
(No, nobody)
The lyrics to Robbie Dupree's "Nobody Else" express a longing for a love that has gone away. The singer wonders if the person he loves thinks about him when she is gone, or if she is just a fantasy in his heart. He wishes that she could always stay there, and he feels that nothing goes his way while she is gone. The lyrics make clear that the singer feels that nobody else can love, hold, or do the things that he does for her. He hopes that she will find the time to take him in her arms and realizes that the love he has for her is unlike anything anyone else can offer her.
Overall, the song seems to express a deep sense of loss and longing for love. The singer seems to feel that he has a unique connection with the person he loves and that nobody else can give her what he can. The lyrics are straightforward and easy to understand, and the melody is simple but effective in conveying the emotion of the song.

When you're gone
Whenever you're not around
I wonder if you think of me
I question if you ever remember me
Or is it just a fantasy
Or am I just an illusion in your mind
Here inside my heart?
Here inside my chest, within my emotions
While you're gone
Whenever you're not with me
Ain't nothin' seem to go my way
Nothing seems to work for me
I wish that you could always stay
I wish you could stay with me all the time
Here inside my heart
Within my feelings and emotions
'Cause nobody else
Because no one else
Can love you like I do
Can love you the way that I do
And nobody else
And no other person
Can hold you like I do
Can hold you the way that I do
And nobody else
And no other person
Can do the things I do
Can perform the acts that I do
It's all for you
Everything I do is exclusively for you
Have you found
Have you discovered
That someone you've been lookin' for?
That person you have been trying to find?
Can he really give you more
Is he really capable of providing more
Than what I offer you?
Than what I can give to you
Maybe someday
Possibly in the future
You might find the time to be
You possibly will have the opportunity to become
More than just a fantasy
More than somebody within my imagination
And take me in your arms
And hold me tightly
Nobody love you
No one loves you
Just like I love you, baby
The way that I exclusively love you, my darling
No, nobody
No, not a single person
('Body else, no, nobody)
No other person
Ain't nobody love you
Nobody at all loves you
('Body else, no, nobody)
None other than me to love you
Ain't nobody gonna love you like I love you, baby
Nobody else will ever love you the way I do, my dear
(No, nobody)
(No, no one)
('Body else, no, nobody)
(No other person)
(No, nobody)
(No, not a single soul)
