If I Ain’t Got You (orchestral) Songtext
von 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
That life′s a bore, so full of the superficial

And 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

And 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

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, oh, ooh
Nothing in this whole wide world don′t mean a thing
If I ain't got you with me, baby
