Alicia Keys - If I Ain't Got You - Live from the Clive Davis Pre Grammy Party Lyrics

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
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 him

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