Nobody Other
Unveiling Love's Essence: Nobody Other by Kadhja Bonet
Lyrics
They say I should grin and bear
Advisors suggest enduring difficulties while fearing the loss of a loved one
While I'm frightened to I'll lose you
Fear of losing the person causing distress despite advice to endure
Ponder as I sit and share
Reflecting on ways to care while in contemplation or conversation
All the ways to care for you
Considering various methods to express care for the person
You hold me to be nobody other
The person expects to be valued only as the lover and close friend of the listener
Than your sweet lover friend
Desire to remain exclusively as the sweet lover friend in the listener's eyes
I want you to know there is no other
Asserting there's no alternate person in mind, preferring to be called the listener's man
I'd rather call my man
Expressing loyalty and commitment to being the listener's significant other
They say when you find the one
Common belief that finding a soulmate mirrors discovering a part of oneself
That you find a part of you
Connection between finding 'the one' and discovering a sense of completion
I don't know if there is only one
Uncertainty if there's only one destined person, content with having a fragment of that connection
But a piece of me will do
Acceptance of having a portion of the ideal match
You hold me to be nobody other
Emphasizing the desire to exclusively be perceived as the listener's lover and friend
Than your sweet lover friend
Repeated declaration of wanting to occupy only those roles in the listener's life
I want you to know there is no other
Insistence on the absence of an alternative, preferring to be identified as the listener's man
I'd rather call my man
Reiterating commitment to being the listener's chosen partner
Let me show what you mean to me
Expressing a willingness to demonstrate the depth of feelings for the listener
Let me show
Reiterating the desire to show the listener's importance
Want you to know what I'm prepared to do
Expressing readiness to make sacrifices and efforts for the listener
Sacrifice for you my love
Willingness to make significant sacrifices for the sake of love
Take away my heart and flesh for you
Expressing a readiness to give everything, even life itself, for the listener
Find another you to love
Suggesting a willingness to find another way to express love if necessary
You hold me to be nobody other
Reasserting the desire to solely be seen as the listener's lover and friend
Than your sweet lover friend
Repeated declaration of wanting exclusivity in the roles held in the listener's life
I want you to know there is no other
Insisting on being recognized as the listener's chosen partner
I'd rather call my man
Reiterating the preference to be identified as the listener's man
