There's Nobody Like You
A Love Unmatched: Roger Miller's Melodic Ode to Unique Connection
Lyrics
The way you make love to me matches up perfectly
The way you make love to me aligns perfectly with the mental images I've always carried.
With pictures that I've always carried around in my mind
Describing the alignment of physical intimacy with cherished mental images.
Honey you got it all
Expressing admiration, suggesting the person has all desirable qualities.
There's nobody like you, I just don't love you, that's all
Acknowledging the uniqueness of the person, but confessing a lack of romantic love.
And I try to make love to you to match it all perfectly
Attempting to reciprocate the same level of love, aligning with mental images.
With pictures that you'd always carried around in your mind
Highlighting the effort to match physical intimacy with the partner's cherished mental images.
But I couldn't make the fall
Expressing inability to fully reciprocate the emotions, possibly due to a personal limitation.
There's nobody like you, I just don't love you, that's all
Reiterating the uniqueness of the person but emphasizing the absence of romantic feelings.
And I'd rather hurt myself
Expressing a preference to endure personal suffering over causing pain to the partner.
Than to ever cause you pain
A commitment to avoid causing emotional harm to the partner, even at a personal cost.
I feel like I'm stealing away with the sunshine
Using metaphorical language, feeling guilty about enjoying happiness while the partner suffers.
Leaving you stuck in the rain
Leaving the partner in a metaphorical "rain" of emotional difficulty while enjoying personal happiness.
The way you make love to me matches up perfectly
Reiteration of the alignment of physical intimacy with cherished mental images.
With pictures that I've always carried around in my mind
Repeating the theme of matching love with mental images, emphasizing the partner's completeness.
Honey you got it all
Reaffirming admiration for the partner's qualities and uniqueness.
There's nobody like you, I just don't love you, that's all
Restating the acknowledgment of the person's uniqueness but clarifying the absence of romantic love.
And l'd rather hurt myself
Repeating the commitment to personal suffering over causing pain to the partner.
