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


With no one to share

With 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
