Wynonna Judd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never let them down
When it comes to love, I keep my senses
I don't get kicked around
I shivered once, you broke into my soul
The damage is done now, I'm out of control
How did you get to me?
No one else on earth
Could ever hurt me
Break my heart the way you do
No one else on earth
Was ever worth it
No one could love me like
No one could love me like you
You can make me want you anytime you want to
You're burnin' me alive
I can't deny you even when I catch you
Leaving a weak alibi
'Cause when the night falls, you make me forget
Your love is killin' me, and it ain't over yet
How did you get to me?
No one else on earth
Could ever hurt me
Break my heart the way you do
No one else on earth
Was ever worth it
No one could love me like
No one could love me like you
I shivered once you broke into my soul
The damage is done now
I'm outta control
How did you get to me?
No one else on earth
Could ever hurt me
Break my heart the way you do
No one else on earth
Was ever worth it
No one could love me like
No one could love me like
No one else on earth
Could ever hurt me
Break my heart the way you do
No one else on earth
Was ever worth it
No one could love me like
No one could love me like you
No one else on earth
Was ever worth it
No one could love me like
No one like you
No one like you
The lyrics of Wynonna Judd’s “No One Else on Earth” speaks to a love that is so raw and powerful that it makes her vulnerable in a way that she has never been before. The song laments about a love that she cannot do without no matter how much it hurts her or how much she tries to resist it. She describes herself as having been a rock and having never let her defenses down, but this love has broken into her soul, and she is now out of control. It is a love that hurts her in a way that no one else on earth can, and no one else on earth has ever been worth it.
The chorus repeats the refrain “No one else on earth” highlighting the intensity and exclusivity of the love. It is a powerful declaration of love and vulnerability that is rare to find. The persona seems to be questioning how this love got to her, and why she cannot resist it, despite how much it hurts her. The lyrics are heartfelt, and the use of imagery and metaphor demonstrates the intensity of this love.
