Nobody Else

there's other people looking at you, I can see the wanton look within in their eyes
they're giving you the signals and they want you to respond to what they advertise
but when they're looking at you just you look into my heart and then you'll realise

nobody else will love you more
nobody else will love like this
nobody else will love you more
nobody else will love like this

they'll dangle gaudy baubles and entreat you to come nearer to their sheeny shine
they'll try to come on hard to you, they'll wave a red rag urging you to cross the line
but when they offer sweetmeats just you look into their hearts and then look into mine

nobody else will love you more
nobody else will love like this
nobody else will love you more
nobody else will love like this

you mustn't fall for their plan, they just want to make a conquest and kill
you mustn't fall for their line that some other side is greener
you mustn't fall for their ruse, they just want to test the water and then
if you respond to their bait, they'll count you in their arena

nobody else will love you more
nobody else will love like this
nobody else will love you more
nobody else will love like this

you mustn't go with the flow, just because somebody gives you the eye
because they want to entice doesn't give it any meaning
you mustn't drift on a whim, don't you let your head be turned by a glance
they're simply making a play just to see which way you're leaning

I know it isn't easy keeping overtures and winks and pouting lips at bay
the other side can look so good, especially when they smile and say come out to play
but look and see me standing here just realise the truth of all these words I say
