Never Be Anyone Else But You
Rick Nelson · Boppin' The Blues [2011]
Chorus:
There'll never be anyone else
But you for me
Never ever be, just couldn't be
Anyone else but you.
If I could take my pick of all the girls
I've ever known
Then I'd come and pick you out
To be my very own.
Chorus:
There'll never be anyone else
But you for me
Never ever be, just couldn't be
Anyone else but you.
A heart that's true and longs for you
Is all I have to give
All my love belongs to you
As long as I may live.
Chorus:
There'll never be anyone else
But you for me
Never ever be, just couldn't be
Anyone else but you.
I never will forget
The way you kiss me
And when we're not together
I wonder if you've missed me.
'Cause I hope and pray the day will come
When you belong to me
Then I'm gonna prove to you
How true my love can be.
Chorus:
There'll never be anyone else
But you for me
Never ever be, just couldn't be
Anyone else but you.
Mm, mm, mm, mm.
Mm, mm, mm.
Mm, mm, mm...
