1st 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
            
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, yea

Verse 2:
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

Bridge
Hand me the world on a silver plater
And what good would it be  
No one to share
No one who truly cares for me

Chorus

Outro: ( is same as Intro)

If I aint got you with me baby, no
Oooh...
Said nothin in this whole wide world dont mean a thing,
If I ain't got you with me, babbbayyyy...(adlibbed)
