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
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
But that life’s a bore
So full of the superficial

Some people want it all
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
And everything means nothing
If I ain’t got you

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

Handed the world on a silver platter
And what good would that be
With no one to share
No one who truly cares for me

Some people want it all
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
And everything means nothing
If I ain’t got you
If I ain’t got you with me, baby
Oh, if I ain’t got you with me, baby

There ain’t nothing in this whole wide world that means a thing
If I ain’t got you with me, baby
And some people want it all
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
And everything means nothing
If I ain’t got you
