If I Ain't Got You Lyrics

by: Alicia Keys



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

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



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, 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



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



If I ain't got you with me baby

Nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing

If I ain't got you with me baby
