Notes
This was the Scorpions' breakout song in America, where it hit #1 on the Mainstream Rock chart. The band is from Germany, but had tremendous success in English-speaking countries, something that might have to do with their unusual perspective. In our interview with Scorpions guitarist Rudolf Schenker, he explained: "We had a big single with 'Nobody Like You' in '82. People asked us, 'Why are you guys coming from Germany, and you have this #1 single in the United States? What is this secret?' I said, 'Maybe it is because we see things in a different way. We explain things differently, and we go very deep inside with the music and the lyrics, and we have a different view. And people start liking this view because it's not the same as the views of other people."
Girl, it's been a long time that we've been apart Much too long for a man who needs love I miss you since I've been away Babe, it wasn't easy to leave you alone It's getting harder each time that I go If I had the choice, I would stay There's no one like you I can't wait for the nights with you I imagine the things we'll do I just want to be loved by you No one like you I can't wait for the nights with you I imagine the things we'll do I just want to be loved by you Girl, there are really no words strong enough To describe all my longing for love I don't want my feelings restrained Oh babe, I just need you like never before I just imagine you'd come through this door You'd take all my sorrow away There's no one like you I can't wait for the nights with you I imagine the things we'll do I just want to be loved by you No one like you I can't wait for the nights with you I imagine the things we'll do I just want to be loved by you No one like you I can't wait for the nights with you I imagine the things we'll do I just want to be loved by you No one like you I can't wait for the nights with you I imagine the things we'll do I just want to be loved by you
