You can see the sheet music at Mississippi State University. (Click for a PDF.)

THERE'S NOBODY ELSE BUT YOU
Words and music by L. Wolfe Gilbert
New York: L. Wolfe Gilbert Music Corp., ©1924

1. You believe that I belong to somebody else.
Teardrops they fill your eyes.
You believe that I deceive; there's somebody else.
You're wasting tears and sighs.
Dearie, I'll always play fair.
I'm telling you on the square:

CHORUS: Honey, don't you worry, 'cause there's nobody else,
Nobody else but you.
Why should you be
Jealous of me?
Now I can see
Why we disagree.
Though we part, I cross my heart, there's nobody else.
Honest, I'm faithful and true.
I like to play
And fool around with others.
That's just my way,
Like sisters do with brothers.
Honey, don't you worry 'cause there's nobody else,
Nobody else but you.

2. Nothing makes the heart grow cold like jealousy, dear.
Won't you believe in me?
We must trust each other whether absent or near.
Then we would happy be.
If I were telling you lies,
You'd find it out in my eyes. CHORUS
