Nobody to Love
Unlocking Hearts: Luther Vandross's Nobody to Love Unveils the Mystery
Lyrics
Hey baby, what's your game?
Addressing the person and questioning their intentions or motives.
I ask you the question and the answer's still the same
Despite asking, the answer received remains unchanged.
How can you go on day to day
Wondering how the person continues with daily life without someone caring for them.
Without someone to care
Expressing concern about the person's apparent lack of emotional support.
If I wanted to take that chance
Contemplating the possibility of taking a risk or making a commitment.
If I wanted to be your man
Considering the option of becoming the person's romantic partner.
You tell me that you feel lonely
Noting the person's admission of loneliness but reluctance to love anyone.
But you won't love nobody
Pointing out the contradiction in expressing loneliness while avoiding love.
You tell me that you got a big heart
Acknowledging the person's claim of having a big heart but not showing love.
But you won't love no one
Highlighting the paradox of a big heart that doesn't love anyone.
You lie and you moan and you bitch and you groan
Describing the person's negative behaviors without opening up to love.
But you won't let nobody in to love
Noticing the person's resistance to letting someone into their life to love them.
What am I gonna do?
Expressing a sense of helplessness or confusion about the situation.
Hey there baby, you're not shy
Complimenting the person for not being shy during conversations.
We talk for hours and you seem just fine girl, but...
Despite seemingly fine conversations, there's an issue when love is mentioned.
Every time I bring up love
Noting the person's tendency to avoid or evade discussions about love.
You run for cover
Observing the person's defensive reaction when love is brought up.
Suppose I told you something that's true
Hypothetically sharing a true feeling or desire.
Suppose I told you that I want you
Expressing a genuine desire for the person.
You tell me all the guys want you
Contradicting the person's belief that everyone wants them.
But you won't love nobody
Reiterating the resistance to loving anyone despite perceived desirability.
You keep your heart in seclusion
Noting the person's tendency to keep their emotions guarded.
And you won't love no one

You game and you flirt and you talk a lot of dirt

But you don't want nobody to love
Highlighting the contradiction of avoiding love despite actions suggesting otherwise.
What are you gonna do?

Nights are longer when you're alone
