Never Had Nobody Like You Lyrics

Well since time out of mind I been lazy
and times before that I was cruel
and the times before that
I was mean, I was mad
Cuz I never had nobody like you

And the times before that I was crazy
I saw the dark side of the moon
And the stars in the sky
They never caught my eye
Cuz I never had nobody like you

But now it's just like ABC
Life's just like 1...2..3

I watched my old habits die & it was painful
Sometimes it's painful in the light of the truth
But you kept me fast to the right
And I wanna thank you tonight
I ain't never had nobody like you

I trusted liars and thieves in my blindness
Honey, I was wasting away at the root
& now that I've been through that hell
I got a story to tell
I never had nobody like you

Not really much to analyze here. Just a good old fashioned love song. But, it's so infectious. I could listen to this song all day long. It's terrific.

I think it's an homage to songs or artists that he admires.
Time out of mind...Bob Dylan Dark Side of the Mind...Pink Floyd ABC 123...Jackson 5 Old Habits (Die Hard)...Rolling Stones

and maybe there are more that I didn't get. "Never Had Nobody Like You"...maybe it's a nice compliment to musicians so excellent and (in their time) unique. I really dig it.

until matt's voice kicks in, i'm always under the impression i'm hearing the intro of "i kissed the girl". i always wonder how it got into my itunes library. it's painful.

OK, now I need to go wash my mind of the horrible mental associations you just gave me. Other than the opening riff, there's really no comparison between the two songs.

Few corrections to my ears:

Well, since time out of mind, I been lazy

But you kept me fast to the light

And I'm not sure about the first two lines of the last stanza...don't sound quite right to me, but can't make them out

I love Zoey Deschanels back up vocals. Pretty simple, yet great song.. he was unhappy with his life until he met a certain someone.

Hey all, I'm posting the slightly corrected lyrics here. I mainly just added where delia forgot the "honeys" and the "ain'ts".

Well since time out of mind I been lazy and times before that I was cruel and the times before that I was mean, I was mad Honey I ain't never had nobody like you

A love song from one musician to another. The relationship goes back many years and covers a lot of painful times for the speaker. The beloved has been patient through it all and it's time to say thank you and sorry.
