| |
| ==Overview==
| |
| "No Other One" was originally written as "There is No Other One" in July of 1994. It was the last song Rivers wrote that would appear on a Weezer album before he became famous. The song is in 3/4 timing.
| |
| | |
| Rivers wrote "No Other One" about a hypothetical girlfriend caught in a spiral of drug use. Despite this and her abuse, he doesn't want to leave her due to fear of loneliness. The song also makes a reference to snakes, the first of many animal references in the album's lyrics.
| |
| | |
| An early version of the song begins with the line, "My girl's on fire," instead of, "My girl's a liar."
| |
| | |
| ==As a Black Hole song==
| |
| This song was originally intended for the abandoned [[Songs from the Black Hole]] and is therefore likely to be about [[Maria]] and sung from the perspective of [[Jonas]]. After losing his chances with [[Laurel]], Jonas contents himself with having Maria by his side, despite his negative feelings for her. The song does not appear on [[Songs_from_the_Black_Hole#Track_List_2|Track List 2]].

| |
| <lyrics>My girl's a liar
| |
| But I'll stand beside her
| |
| She's all I've got
| |
| And I don't wanna be alone
| |
| My girl don't see me
| |
| When she's with my friends
| |
| She's all I've got
| |
| And I don't wanna be alone
| |
| | |
| No there is no other one
| |
| No there is no other one
| |
| I can't have any other one
| |
| Though I would
| |
| Now I never could with one
| |
| | |
| All of the drugs she does
| |
| Scare me real good
| |
| She's got a tattoo
| |
| And two pet snakes
| |
| Nobody knows me like her
| |
| Nobody knows her like me
| |
| We're all we've got and we don't wanna be alone.
| |
| | |
| No there is no other one
| |
| No there is no other one
| |
| I can't have any other one
| |
| Though I would
| |
| Now I never could with one
| |
| | |
| No there is no other one
| |
| No there is no other one
| |
| I won't have any other one
| |
| Though I would
| |
| Now I never could with one</lyrics>
