If I Ain't Got You Lyrics

[00:08.89] Mmm, mmm, mmm, yeah
[00:24.35] Some people live for the fortune
[00:29.68] Some people live just for the fame
[00:35.99] Some people live for the power, yeah
[00:41.85] Some people live just to play the game
[00:47.44] Some people think
[00:50.34] That the physical things
[00:53.04] Define what's within
[00:58.54] And I've been there before
[01:02.48] That life's a bore
[01:05.14] So full of the superficial
[01:09.91] Some people want it all
[01:12.87] But I don't want nothing at all
[01:16.52] If it ain't you, baby
[01:19.52] If I ain't got you, baby
[01:22.34] Some people want diamond rings
[01:25.26] Some just want everything
[01:28.07] But everything means nothing
[01:31.49] If I ain't got you, yeah
[01:36.48] Some people search for a fountain
[01:41.82] Promises forever young
[01:48.32] Some people need three dozen roses
[01:54.98] And that's the only way to prove you love them
[02:00.28] Hand me the world
[02:03.10] On a silver platter
[02:06.00] And what good would it be?
[02:11.76] With no one to share
[02:15.53] With no one who truly cares for me?
[02:23.26] Some people want it all
[02:26.12] But I don't want nothing at all
[02:29.55] If it ain't you, baby
[02:32.75] If I ain't got you, baby
[02:35.69] Some people want diamond rings
[02:38.47] Some just want everything
[02:41.36] But everything means nothing
[02:44.57] If I ain't got you, you, you
[02:47.86] Some people want it all
[02:50.22] But I don't want nothing at all
[02:54.01] If it ain't you, baby
[02:57.15] If I ain't got you, baby
[02:59.84] Some people want diamond rings
[03:02.98] Some just want everything
[03:05.45] But everything means nothing
[03:08.99] If I ain't got you, yeah
[03:14.69]
[03:17.92] If I ain't got you with me, baby
[03:21.38] Oh, whoo-ooh
[03:23.83] Said nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing
[03:29.58] If I ain't got you with me, baby
[03:31.85]
