Ain't Nobody
Rufus & Chack Khan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Captured effortlessly
That's the way it was
Happened so naturally
I did not know it was love
The next thing I felt was you
Holding me close
What was I gonna do?
I let myself go

And now we're flyin' through the stars
I hope this night will last forever

I've been waitin' for you
It's been so long
I knew just what I would do
When I heard your song
Filled my heart with your bliss
Gave me freedom
You knew I could not resist
I needed someone

And now we're flyin' through the stars
I hope this night will last forever
Oh oh oh oh

Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way
Ain't nobody
Loves me better than you

I wait for night time to come
And bring you to me
I can't believe I'm the one
I was so lonely
I feel like no one could feel
I must be dreamin'
I want this dream to be real
I need this feelin'

I make my wish upon a star
And hope this night will last forever
oh oh oh oh

Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Ain't nobody
Loves me better than you

First you put your arms around me
Then you put your charms around me
I can't resist this sweet surrender
Oh my nights are warm and tender
We stare into each other's eyes
And what we see is no surprise
Got a feeling most would treasure
And a love so deep we cannot measure

Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way




Ain't nobody
Loves me better

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Rufus & Chack Khan's song "Ain't Nobody" describe the feeling of falling in love. The first four lines capture the natural and effortless way that the love developed, with the singer not realizing it was love until the moment they were held close. They let themselves go and the next thing they know, they are flying through the stars, hoping that the night will last forever.


The singer had been waiting for this kind of love for a long time, and as soon as they heard the song that filled their heart with bliss, they knew they had found the one. They were able to let go of their loneliness and feel the freedom that comes with someone loving you deeply. Now that they have found this love, they cannot resist the sweet surrender that comes with being in another's arms, and the nights feel warm and tender.


The chorus and repetitive lines of "Ain't Nobody" emphasize the depth of the love that the singer feels for their partner. Nobody could love them better, make them happy, or feel this way. The last four lines of the song describe the mutual feeling of being treasured by one another and having a love so deep that it cannot be measured.
