Intro

Mm-mm

Mm-mm, oh

Mm-mm

Verse 1

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

Pre-Chorus

Some people think that the physical things

Define what's within

And 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 nothin' 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 nothin'

If I ain't got you, yeah

Verse 2

Some people search for a fountain

That promises forever young (Ya know)

Some people need three dozen roses

And that's the only way to prove you love them

Pre-Chorus

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

Chorus

Some people want it all

But I don't want nothin' 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 nothin'

If I ain't got you, you, you

Some people want it all

But I don't want nothin' 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 nothin'

If I ain't got you, yeah

Outro

If I ain't got you with me, baby

Oh, ooh

Said nothin' in this whole wide world don't mean a thing

If I ain't got you with me, baby
