Nobody Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You know when it's twelve o'clock in Soho, baby
It's gin o'clock where I wake up, I don't know
And I think about you though, everywhere I go
And I've done everythin' and I've been everywhere, you know
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been fed gold by sweet fools in Abu Dhabi
And I've danced real slow with Rockettes on dodgy molly
[Chorus]
But I've had no love like your love, ooh, from nobody
I'd be appalled if I saw you ever try to be a saint
I wouldn't fall for someone I thought couldn't misbehave
But I want you to know that I've had no love like your love
[Verse 2]
Honey, when you warm the bed on Wednesday
It's suicide Tuesday back in LA
If I had the choice between hearing either noise
The excitement of a thousand, or the soothing of your voice
[Pre-Chorus]
At first chance, I'd take the bed warmed by the body, woo
I once warmed my hands over a burnin' Maserati, woo
You know when it's twelve o'clock in Soho, baby
It's gin o'clock where I wake up, I don't know
And I think about you though, everywhere I go
And I've done everythin' and I've been everywhere, you know
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been fed gold by sweet fools in Abu Dhabi
And I've danced real slow with Rockettes on dodgy molly
[Chorus]
But I've had no love like your love, ooh, from nobody
I'd be appalled if I saw you ever try to be a saint
I wouldn't fall for someone I thought couldn't misbehave
But I want you to know that I've had no love like your love
[Verse 2]
Honey, when you warm the bed on Wednesday
It's suicide Tuesday back in LA
If I had the choice between hearing either noise
The excitement of a thousand, or the soothing of your voice
[Pre-Chorus]
At first chance, I'd take the bed warmed by the body, woo
I once warmed my hands over a burnin' Maserati, woo
[Chorus]
Still, I've had no love like your love from nobody
I'd be appalled if I saw you ever try to be a saint
I wouldn't fall for someone I thought couldn't misbehave
But I want you to know that I've had no love like your love
[Outro]
And on the other side, why should we deny the truth?
We could have less to worry about, honey, I won't lie to you
But everything I do, I've had no love like your love
Still, I've had no love like your love from nobody
I'd be appalled if I saw you ever try to be a saint
I wouldn't fall for someone I thought couldn't misbehave
But I want you to know that I've had no love like your love
[Outro]
And on the other side, why should we deny the truth?
We could have less to worry about, honey, I won't lie to you
But everything I do, I've had no love like your love
About
Genius Annotation
“Nobody” is, in Hozier’s words, a song “about the limitations of love between flawed people.” In it, Hozier describes his lover as someone who is not exactly “a saint,” and how he loves them not despite but because of that.
It’s just taking into account how flawed this person is and saying “Look, it’s the best we have at the moment.” It’s one of the closest things to a road song that I’ve written.
