Release: November 4, 1983
Lyrics:
Captured effortlessly
That's the way it was
Happened so naturally
Did not know it was love
The next thing I felt was you
Holdin' me close
What was I gonna do?
I let myself go
And now we're flyin' through the stars
I hope this night will last forever
I've been waitin' for you
It's been so long
I knew just what I would do
When I heard your song
You filled my heart with a kiss
You gave me freedom
You knew I could not resist
I needed someone
And now we're flyin' through the stars
I hope this night will last forever
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Ain't nobody (nobody)
Loves me better (loves me better)
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way (nobody)
Ain't nobody (ain't nobody)
Loves me better, than you
I wait for night time to come
To bring you to me
I can't believe I'm the one
I was so lonely
I feel like no one could feel
I must be dreamin'
I want this dream to be real
I need this feelin'
I make my wish upon a star
And hope this night will last forever
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Ain't nobody (ain't nobody)
Loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way (nobody, baby)
Ain't nobody (nobody, baby)
Loves me better (nobody makes me feel)
Ain't nobody
Loves me better, than you
At first you put your arms around me
Then you put your charms around me
I can't resist this sweet surrender
Oh, my nights are warm and tender
We stare into each other's eyes
And what we see is no surprise
Got a feelin' most would treasure
And a love so deep we cannot measure
Ain't nobody (nobody)
Loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way
Ain't nobody (ain't nobody)
Loves me better (nobody)
Ain't nobody
Loves me better (nobody, baby)
Ain't nobody (nobody, baby)
Loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Ain't nobody
Loves me better (nobody)
Ain't nobody (ain't nobody)
Loves me better (ain't nobody)
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way (nobody, baby)
Ain't nobody
Loves me better (ain't nobody)
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Ain't nobody (nobody, baby)
Loves me better (ain't nobody, baby)
Makes me happy (ain't nobody, baby)
Makes me feel this way (ain't nobody)
Songwriter:
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Ain't nobody
Loves me better (makes me feel this way)
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way

SongFacts:
"Ain't Nobody" is a song by American funk band Rufus and American singer Chaka Khan. It was released on November 4, 1983, as one of four studio tracks included on their live album, Stompin' at the Savoy (1983). "Ain't Nobody" quickly gathered popularity, and reached number one on the US Billboard R&B chart and number 22 on the US Billboard Hot 100. It has become one of Khan's signature songs.
Rufus keyboardist David "Hawk" Wolinski wrote the song around a repeating synthesizer loop backed by a Linn LM-1 drum computer; however, John "JR" Robinson, the band's drummer, played real drums for the recording session. The band held a democratic vote, and they decided to include the song in their album repertoire. Once the song was recorded, Warner executives wanted to issue another song as the album's first single. Wolinski threatened to give the song to singer Michael Jackson and producer Quincy Jones for Jackson's album Thriller if the song was not the lead-off single. The label relented and "Ain't Nobody" was issued and hit number one on the R&B chart for the week ending October 15, 1983.
The song was included on the soundtrack album to the 1984 film 'Breakin''. In 2021, "Ain't Nobody" was ranked number 403 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. The song was adopted in the United Kingdom by fans of some of the country's football clubs, with the words: Ain't nobody loves (player), makes me happy, makes me feel this way.

Clare Maguire 'Ain't Nobody' from silver bramham on Vimeo.
This song is my Obikin obsession as I write for the weekend event. :3 The video is also inspiring the story as it fits the sith!au asthetic perfectly.
Meet me in the red sky and dance with me
Let the valley change you and the night set you free
It's dusk in the dessert, it's heaven at the gates
You were my desire, you were my escape

i'm actually so fucking sick of zionists using phrases such as "Was it worth it, Hamas?" cause literally what the fuck are y'all yapping about??? Israel has been indiscriminately bombing gaza in front of our eyes since last October, Israel has murdered more than 30 thousands Palestinians within 5 months, Israel is forcefully starving gaza, Israel is the one committing war crimes everyday, Israel is continuing genocide and ethnic cleansing. Israel. is. illegally. occupying. Palestine.
we all know who are the perpetrators here. and zionists can't gaslight people into "hamas started it" bullshit anymore. everyone is actually sick of Israel's dumb colonialism propaganda where they just repeat same old tactics “how dare you palestinians resist us, after we have your stolen land, freedom, human rights and subjugated your people under fascist colonial regime.”
Israel carry out atrocities in broad daylight and then go ahead blame Palestinian resistance for the said act of savagery they've performed, "O their audacity!" indeed!
