Alicia Keys - If I Ain't Got You

andersonpilet

[Intro]

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.

[Chorus:]

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

with no one to share
with no one who truly cares for me.

[Chorus:]

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

[Outro:]

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
