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 lasts forever
Oh oh oh oh

Ain't nobody (nobody)
Loves me better (loves me better)
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way (nobody)
Ain't nobody (ain't nobody)
Loves me better than you

I wait for night time to come
And bring you to me
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 (nobody)
Loves me better (better than me)
Makes me happy (feel this way)
Makes me feel this way
Ain't nobody (nobody babe)
Loves me better (nobody babe)
Ain't nobody
Loves me better (than you)

At 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 with treasure
And a love so deep we cannot measure

Ain't nobody (nobody)
Loves me better (better me)
Can make me feel this way (makes me happy) (makes me feel) this way
Ain't nobody (ain't nobody)
Loves me better (nobody)
Ain't nobody
Loves me better (nobody babe)
Ain't nobody (nobody babe)
Loves me better (ah make me feel)
Makes me happy (so much love)
Makes me feel this way
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Ain't nobody
Loves me better (ain't nobody)
Makes me happy makes me feel this way
Ain't nobody (whoa!)
Loves me better (ain't nobody)
Ain't nobody (make me feel this way)
Loves me better
Ain't nobody (nobody babe)
Loves me better (nobody babe)
Makes me happy (nobody babe)
Makes me feel this way (ain't nobody no, no, nobody babe, babe, babe, babe, babe, babe, yeah)
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Ain't nobody (say yeah, makes me feel, makes feel this way)
Loves me better




Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way

Overall Meaning

The song "Ain't Nobody" by Rufus & Chaka Khan is a soulful, funky love ballad that describes the feeling of falling in love unexpectedly. The first verse sets the scene: the love between the two people happens effortlessly and naturally. The singer did not even realize it was love until the other person was holding her close. In the chorus, the singer proclaims that there is nobody who loves her better than her lover, and that nobody else can make her feel as happy and fulfilled.


The second verse describes the wait for the lover to arrive, and the feeling of amazement that the singer is the one who is loved. The bridge of the song is a joyful celebration of the physical and emotional connection between the two lovers, and the final chorus repeats the message that nobody can love the singer better than her chosen partner.


Overall, the song is a celebration of the transformative power of love, and the joy and fulfillment that come from finding that special someone who makes you feel truly appreciated and cherished.
