No No
Westlife [Westlife] 1999 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once we had it all for the taking
Love was just me and you
You better think twice
About the plans that you're making
Of splitting one word in two

Put your mind in doubt
Did you ever think about
Everything that we're missing
Don't you make me see
What is best for me
'Cause I just won't listen baby

No no no no
I don't need nobody
Anyone to take your place but you
No no no no
I just couldn't fall for anyone new
Nobody but you

Girl you are the life that I'm living
I just can't go on without you
Let's make it alright
Wake up to what we've been given
Remember the things we've been through

Put your mind in doubt
Did you ever think about
Everything that we're missing
Don't you make me see
What is best for me
'Cause I just won't listen baby

No no no no
I don't need nobody
Anyone to take your place but you
No no no no
I just couldn't fall for anyone new
Nobody but you

I can't imagine
The two of us apart
Can't find a reason
'Cause I still believe
There's no one like you
That is why I need
Nobody but
Don't need nobody
To take your place but you
Don't need nobody at all
No no no no...

No no no no
I don't need nobody
Anyone could take your place but you
No no no no
I just couldn't fall for anyone new
Nobody but you

No no no no...
I don't need nobody
No no no no baby...
I don't need nobody
No no no no...




I just couldn't fall for anyone new
Nobody but you
