Nobody Gets Me But You Lyrics

Nobody gets what I say,
Must be some way to convey,
But no-one else remembers my name,
Just the parts that i play.

Nobody gets,
Nobody gets me but you.
No-one gets what I've done,
Everyone else seems to look trough.
Oh but maybe I've never wanted them to.
Couldn't count on it anyway.

Nobody gets,
Nobody cuts me like you.

Nobody gets what I say,
Those who know, those who lose.
Those who look trough.
Do they get me?

I thought they get me like you,
Oh no!
Nobody.
Nobody.
Nobody.
No.
Oh no-one.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

One lonely night Britt Daniel was up really late. He couldn't sleep. His mind was burdened and when he closed his eyes all his thoughts raced and they were bad ones, very bad ones. Somehow in a daze he wound up on the internet, this very site in fact! In a fit of guilt-fed egotism, he looked at the comments about songs he hswlf has written. He read them all! He became so dispondant that since then, he hasn't slept a night! But some good did come from this tragic tale. As the sun peeked above the horizon the next morning, he got Jim Eno on the horn. He told him about the horrors he'd seen. Before he hung up he said, "Dude. Nobody gets me. Nobody gets me but you.". And thus, this song was born.

Turns out this song was inspired by Dabney Coleman. Nobody gets him but Britt.

Don't we all have someone that seems to be the only person on the world that gets you completely?

That's what makes this song so beautiful.
