==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]]. | |||

*[[Rivers Cuomo]] – lead guitar, lead vocals | |||

<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> | |||
