If I Ain't Got You


Some people live for the fortune 
Some people live just for the fame 
Some people live for the power, yeah  
Some people live just to play the game
 
Some people think 

That the physical things 
Define what's within 
And I've been there before 
That life's a bore So full of the superficial
 

Some people want it all  
But I don't want nothing at all 
If it ain't you, baby 
If I ain't got you, baby
 

Some people want diamond rings 
Some just want everything 
But everything means nothing  
If I ain't got you, yeah
 

Some people search for a fountain  
Promises forever young  
Some people need three dozen roses 
And that's the only way to prove you love them
 

And in a world on a silver platter 
And wondering what it means 
No one to share 
but no one who truly cares for me
 

Some people want it all 
But I don't want nothing at all  
If it ain't you, baby 
If I ain't got you, baby
Some people want diamond rings 

Some just want everything  
But everything means nothing 
If I ain't got you, you, you
 

Some people want it all  
But I don't want nothing at all If it ain't you, baby 
If I ain't got you, baby
Some people want diamond rings 

Some just want everything 
But everything means nothing If I ain't got you, yeah
 

If I ain't got you with me, baby
oh Said nothing in this whole wide world 
don't mean a thing 
I ain't got you with me, baby
