In a world far from perfect
It's not always easy to connect
Where everything can be so complicated
I know that "simply, you're the best"
I don't want nobody else, I only want you
Wanna keep you for myself, it's selfish, but true
I don't want anything, to ever come between us
'Cause I don't want nobody else
In a world far from perfect...still
One never knows what to expect, so tell me
what will I do?
So hard to think of you as "dearly departed"
If only desperation could resurrect
'Cause I don't want nobody else, I only want you
Not some picture on a shelf, no...'cause that
won't carry me through
How does debilitated, find the strength to
make it through
'Cause I don't want nobody else, only you
Now I don't want nobody else, I only want you
And not some picture on a shelf, on no...
'Cause that won't carry me through
How does asphyxiated, ever find the breath to
make it through
'Cause I don't want nobody else,
I don't want nobody else,
only you, only you...
It's not always easy to connect
Where everything can be so complicated
I know that "simply, you're the best"
Wanna keep you for myself, it's selfish, but true
I don't want anything, to ever come between us
'Cause I don't want nobody else
One never knows what to expect, so tell me
what will I do?
So hard to think of you as "dearly departed"
If only desperation could resurrect
Not some picture on a shelf, no...'cause that
won't carry me through
How does debilitated, find the strength to
make it through
Now I don't want nobody else, I only want you
And not some picture on a shelf, on no...
'Cause that won't carry me through
How does asphyxiated, ever find the breath to
make it through
I don't want nobody else,
only you, only you...

Jeff (the singer) wrote this song after he had to have his dog put to sleep. He is a huge animal lover and always takes it very hard when an animal he is close to dies. Another Tesla song, "What You Gve", is about a another dog of Jeff's that died.
i also believe the song Miles Away, was about the same dog
