Verse
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
Bridge
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
Chorus
(octave up)
Some people want it all
(stacatto)
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
(stacatto)
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you
Verse:
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
Bridge:
And in a world on a silver platter
And wondering what it means
No one to share, 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
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
