The Dubs made one of the mid-'50s' more endearing ballad records, "Could This Be Magic," in 1957. It wasn't a huge hit, but still became a doo wop classic. The group, featuring lead vocalist Richard Blandon, continued recording for Gone, Musictone, ABC, End, Josie, Wilshire, Lana, Candlelite, Johnson, and Clifton through the mid-'70s, but never enjoyed any success or made any headway outside doo wop circles. ~ Ron Wynn, All-Music Guide

The Dubs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How I'm feeling when I'm with you cause I never felt this love
Girl your vibe is hella peaceful, moving swift just like a dove
I been praying to my God, he sent an angel from above that's real, yeah
Genuine care, you show me how that feels
Love to converse like you got stars on your heel
We get to taking off layers of all our past like bananas with peels
The shit I been through prolly give you the chills for real
And then I met you and it felt like my whole soul learning
Cause I ain't never had nobody make me so nervous,
Move like a boss, protect you that's my sole purpose
Cause I ain't never had and I wanted somebody like you
Somebody like, somebody like, I say somebody like you
Cause I ain't never had and I wanted somebody like you
Somebody like, somebody like, I say somebody like you
Helluva time when I pick you up in that Mitsubishi
Ain't what I want but you stay down till I get that Lamborghini
Ain't bout' materials, we talk bout' trips to Santorini
Ain't no entanglements, we moving like Martin and Gina
Love when you with me but I love to see you leave
Cause your figure so exotic like something come from my dreams
Your confidence is so dominant
Intelligence so prominent
And you don't ask for too much so I bring you the whole continent
Loving with passion, I love when you bout' that action
Dividing all your body, I treat you just like a fraction
We DND both our phones, ain't got time for other distractions
I got you hooked baby call me the captain, it's Dub
Cause I ain't never had and I wanted somebody like you
Somebody like, somebody like, I say somebody like you
Cause I ain't never had and I wanted somebody like you
Somebody like, somebody like, I say somebody like you
Cause I ain't never, I ain't never had nobody like you
I ain't never had nobody like you, had nobody like you
Cause I ain't never had nobody like you, woah
Said I ain't never had nobody, I ain't never had nobody like you
Cause I ain't never had nobody, I ain't never had nobody
I ain't never had nobody like you, had nobody like you

I have a feeling you don’t realise this was in the office and they done a parody of it ... or was it the other way round ? I don’t actually know but just making you aware
technetium
@Anthonythere's 2 problems with your statement, one a vast majority of the people who search "nobody but me" lip dubs are probably fans of the office, and two this came out in September 28 , the office episode with the lip Dub came out in September 23, no hate towards you but felt you were quite condescending to the original commenter
Private
I watched a dozen videos of this same sketch (The Office) cover versions and this one in the guys dorm is the most creative, most organized, most comical and most coordinated effort. The shower bathroom scenes were very funny and sweet.
