[Verse 1]
Some people live for the fortune
Some people live just for the fame
Some people live for the power, yeah, yeah
Some people live just to play the game, mm
[Pre-Chorus]
Some people think that the physical things
Define what's within
But I've been there before and 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 nothing
If I ain't got you
[Verse 2]
Some people search for a fountain
Promises forever young
Some people need three dozen roses
And that's the only way to prove that you love them
[Pre-Chorus]
Hand me the world on a silver platter
Then what good would it be?
With no one to share
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
[Outro]
Mm (Mm)
If I ain't got you with me
If I ain't got you
