"Nobody Love" is the lead single and third track from Tori Kelly's debut album, Unbreakable Smile. It was released on February 8, 2015 through Capitol Records.
Background[]
This song about pursuing love, and feeling reluctant to settle down with one person.
According to Tori:
"The song is about how everyone is always on the run, looking for that next thing. We’re always trying to find something better. For me, the song is saying to someone that we have something that’s not going anywhere and it’s nice not to have to go running around looking for that love."
Lyrics[]
[Intro]
Why? Why?
[Verse 1]
Everybody's looking for that something
No one ever wants to pay the price (All right, all right)
Everybody's scared of going nowhere
But we ain't going anywhere tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
I should be more cynical and tell myself that's not okay
(To feel this good when I'm with you)
Try my best to fight it, say "I hate you", but I always stay
Woah, oh, ooh, 'cause
[Chorus]
Ain't nobody love, ain't nobody love like you do
Ain't nobody love, ain't nobody love like you do
Ain't nobody love, ain't nobody love like you do
Ain't nobody love, ain't nobody love like you do (Wait, hold up)
[Verse 2]
Everybody's talking 'bout the next thing (Yeah, yeah)
Feel like what they got ain't good enough, oh, oh yeah
But all I wanna do is release the tension (All right, all right)
Bring the conversation back to us, oh, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
I should be more cynical and tell myself that's not okay
(To feel this good when I'm with you)
Try my best to fight it, say "I hate you", but I always stay
Woah, oh, ooh, 'cause
[Chorus]
Ain't nobody love, ain't nobody love like you do
Ain't nobody love, ain't nobody love like you do
Ain't nobody love, ain't nobody love like you do
Ain't nobody love, ain't nobody love like you do
[Bridge]
Yeah, can we stop all the yelling? Baby, hear me out
I want you here and now
Try my best to fight it, say "I hate you", but I always stay
Hey, hey, hey-ey! Oh, yeah!
Yeah, all right, everybody's looking for that new thang
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Ain't nobody, nobody, nobody love
[Chorus]
Ain't nobody love, ain't nobody love like you do (Uh)
Ain't nobody love, ain't nobody love like you do
Ain't nobody love, ain't nobody love like you do (Oh, ain't nobody love)
Ain't nobody love, ain't nobody love like you do
[Outro]
Ain't nobody love, ain't nobody love like you do
Ain't nobody love, ain't nobody love like you do
