If I Ain’t Got You (Unplugged Live at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Brooklyn, NY - July 2005) Songtext
von Alicia Keys

Mmm, mmm, mmm, yeah

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
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
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
Oh, whoo-ooh
Said nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing
If I ain′t got you with me, baby
