Who's Who
The Grooves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nobody does it half as good as you
Baby, you're the best
I wasn't lookin' but somehow you found me
I tried to hide from your love light
But like heaven above me the spy who loved me
Is keepin' all my secrets safe tonight
Nobody does it quite the way you do
Did you have to be so good?
The way that you hold me whenever you hold me
There's some kind of magic inside you
That keeps me from runnin' but just keep it comin'
How'd you learn to do the things you do?
And nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it half as good as you
The Grooves's song "Who's Who," features the lyrics about how nobody can measure up to the person they love. The singer seems to be admiring their love interest and feels sorry for the rest of the world who doesn't have the same person in their life. The lyrics convey a sense of awe and wonder for the person's talents and ability to make the singer feel loved and special.
The opening lines of the song, "Nobody does it better makes me feel sad for the rest" suggest that the singer feels inferior to their love interest because they simply cannot match up to their high standards. The line "Did you have to be so good?" indicates that the singer is aware of how good their love interest is, and questioning whether it was necessary for them to be so perfect. The reference to "the spy who loved me" seems to suggest that the singer is being protected by their love interest, and that they feel safe and secure with them, as if in a spy movie.
The chorus of the song repeats the idea that nobody can do it better than their love interest, and that they make the singer feel sad for the rest of the world who can't experience the same level of love and care. Overall, the song seems to be a love letter to the object of the singer's affection, expressing appreciation for their uniqueness, and how they make the singer feel loved and special.
