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

but 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

that promises forever young

some people need three dozen roses

and that's the only way to prove you love them

hand me the world on a silver platter

and what good would it be

i don't know

i don't know

no one to share

no one

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

so nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing

if i ain't got you with me

baby
