Nobody Else in the World But You Lyrics

You live in a house of mirrors
Reflecting your splendid isolation
You have so much of everything
Except for true consideration
The way you dance
The way you walk
The way you drive
The way you talk
The way you eat
The way you drink
The way you act
The way that you don't think

It's like there's—
Nobody else in the world but you
Nobody else in the world
Nobody else in the world but you
In case you haven't noticed
There's lots of other people here, too

Hey now, did your momma teach you anything?
Some things still got to be respected
Is it a sign of the times, or is it just your callous heart?
How did you get so disconnected?

The way you push
The way you shove
The way you hate
The way you love
The lies you spin
The scenes you make
The grief you give
The space you take
It's like there's—
Nobody else in the world but you
Nobody else in the world
Nobody else in the world but you
In case you haven't noticed
There's lots of other people here, too

And now it's time you did a little giving, baby
The world is not your plaything, no, no, no

Nobody else in the world but you
Nobody else in the world
Nobody else in the world but you
In case you haven't noticed
There's lots of other people here

Nobody else in the world but you
Nobody else in the world
It's like there's—nobody else in the world but you
In case you haven't noticed there are lots of other people here, too

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
