If I Ain't Got You

John Adams

Some people live for the fortune
Some people live just for the fame
Some people live for the powerSome people live just to play the game

Some people think
That the physical things
Define what′s within
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

Some people search for a fountain
Promises forever young
Some people need three dozen roses
And that's the only way you prove that 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
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
