No one, no one, no one/
Can get in the way of what I’m feeling.

Alicia Keys’ “No One” is a piano driven song, made great by Keys’ beautiful voice. Hearing Keys sing this song with just the piano is amazing. The version on the record is good too. It adds a synthesizer and additional sounds and beats but I don’t think the end product is necessarily better than the stripped down version. In a sense, the single is over-produced. Each version is great its own way.

The message of Key’s “No One” is straightforward. It is a declaration of love: no one and nothing can get in the way of the way she feels about her new love. Keys delivers these lyrics with meaning. We believe the feeling she has and that she is expressing.

Keys sings with passion and we believe her that she has found “No One” like her current lover. This is a great love song and a great showcase for Key’s talented vocals and piano chops.

No One Lyrics

I just want you close
Where you can stay forever
You can be sure
That it will only get better

You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don’t worry ’cause
Everything’s gonna be alright
People keep talking, they can say what they like
But all I know is everything’s gonna be alright

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I’m feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you

When the rain is pouring down
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around
This I know for certain

You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don’t worry ’cause
Everything’s gonna be alright
People keep talking, they can say what they like
But all I know is everything’s gonna be alright

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I’m feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel

I know some people search the world
To find something like what we have
I know people will try, try to divide something so real
So ’til the end of time, I’m telling you there ain’t no one

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I’m feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
Oh oh oh oh
