"If I Ain't Got You" lyrics

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, that life's a bore
So full of the superficial

Some people want it all
I don't want nothin' 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 nothin'
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, but no

Hand me 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 nothin' 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 nothin' 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 nothin' 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 nothin'
If it ain't got you
