Lyrics
[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
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
[Verse 2]
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't with 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
[Verse 3]
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
And in a world on a silver platter
And wondering what it means
With no one to share but no one who truly cares for me
[Verse 4]
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't with 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
[Verse 5]
Some people want it all
But don't want nothing
If it ain't with you baby
If I ain't got you baby
If I ain't got you, if I ain't got you
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
The world means nothing
If I ain't got you
