Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come lay your cool hand on my brow
And promise me that you will
Never be nobody's darlin' but mine
Be nobody's darlin' but mine
Love be honest be faithful be kind
And promise me that you will
You're as sweet as the flowers of springtime
You're as pure as the dew from the rose
I had rather be somebody's darlin'
Than a poor boy that nobody knows
Be nobody's darlin' but mine love
The song "Nobody But You" by the Long Gone Daddy-O's is a classic love ballad that speaks to the depth of love and devotion. The lyrics speak to a man who is deeply in love with his partner, and he implores her to sit by his side and place her hand on his brow. He then asks that she promise him that she will never be anybody else's darling but his. The lyrics echo the sentiment that he doesn't want to share her love with anyone else and that she belongs to him alone.
The second verse goes on to talk about the sweetness and purity of his partner, comparing her to the flowers of springtime and the dew from the rose. He then says that he'd rather be with her, even if it means being poor, than to be a man that nobody knows. The chorus repeats the theme of the song, that he wants his partner to be nobody's darling but his, and he asks that she be faithful, honest and kind.
In summary, the song "Nobody But You" is a declaration of love and exclusivity, with the singer expressing his desire that his partner will always belong to him and nobody else.

Come sit by my side little darlin'
Please come over and sit next to me, my dear
Come lay your cool hand on my brow
Please rest your hand on my forehead and make me feel better
And promise me that you will
Please give me your word
Never be nobody's darlin' but mine
Please promise you'll only love me
Be nobody's darlin' but mine
Please don't love anyone else but me
Love be honest be faithful be kind
Please love me with all your honesty, loyalty, and kindness
And promise me that you will
Please give me your word
Never be nobody's darlin' but mine
Please promise you'll only love me
You're as sweet as the flowers of springtime
You're as lovely and refreshing as springtime flowers
You're as pure as the dew from the rose
You're as pure and untouched as the morning dew on a rose
I had rather be somebody's darlin'
I'd rather be loved by someone than be alone
Than a poor boy that nobody knows
Than to be a lonely and unknown poor boy

How does this only have 28k? This is why l don't talk to people about 90s rap. Out of nowhere today l just started singing this hook 😂 this was such a banger back in the day. This is the type of song that will get played in a movie and become a big hit again.
