Nobody but you
Sam Smith feat. Mary J. Blige Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't sleep, I'm lonely
If only you were here to lay with me, lay with me
Long days, and longer nights don't feel right
If you're not here by my side, by my side

I'm thinking of running away
Into your arms to a place
Where I know that I'm gonna stay, gonna stay
People with so much to say
But I'm only hearing the words
That you left me with on that day, on that day

'Cause I don't really care for
No, I don't really care for, nobody but you
Nobody but you, baby, no
The only one I'm there for
No, I don't really care for
Nobody but you
Nobody but you, baby

Nobody but you, you, you, you, you, you
Nobody but you, you, you, you, you, you

Lately, I'm faded, it's hazy
Won't you come and clear my mind, clear my mind
I won't be, safe tonight
When you're the only comfort in my life, oh in my life

I'm thinking of running away
Into your arms to a place
Where I know that I'm gonna stay, gonna stay

'Cause I don't really care for
No, I don't really care for, nobody but you
Nobody, nobody but you baby, no
You're the only one I'm there for
The only one I care for
Nobody but you
Nobody but you, baby

Nobody but you, you, you, you, you, you
Nobody but you, you, you, you, you, you

Nobody, nobody baby
Nobody, nobody baby
Nobody, nobody baby, baby, baby

'Cause I don't really care for
No, I don't really care for
Nobody but you
Nobody but you baby, no
You're the only one I'm there for
The only one I care for
Nobody but you
Nobody but you baby





Nobody but you

Overall Meaning

The singer emphasizes the importance of having their loved one by their side, especially during long days and nights. They long to escape to a place where they know they can stay with their partner. Despite being surrounded by people with a lot to say, their thoughts are only occupied by the memories of their partner and the words they left behind. The singer openly declares their devotion to their partner, stating that they don't care about anyone else but them. In the chorus, the repetition of "Nobody but you" reinforces these emotions and makes the message of the song clear.
