Send "If I Ain't Got You" ringtones to your cell

Mmmmmmm, mmmmmm

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 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 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 
The promise is forever young 
(You know) Some people need three dozen roses 
And that’s the only way to prove 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 

Chorus: 
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, ohh, ooo 
Say nothing in this whole wide world don’t mean a thing 
If I ain't got you with me baby x2

1 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal this is makes my tummy feel funny inside. Its got soul vibes and whoever wrote this song understand wat really is goin on in our society. This song explains what people feel about each other and its perfect for someone who just broke up or feelin the way to another person but still is wunderin how they feel back at them. This song have some exageration but that wat makes it so beautiful in the art of writing. Alicia's beautiful voice just mixes perfect for this song. And i couldnt have done better, none of us could. This song can make you cry or smile but mostly cry since the one you love doesnt understand how you feel about them. I think its the perfect song to explain the quote: "i would choose the world over you because you are my world". And if i had the chance i would dedicate this song to my one n only, Jon posadas.

1 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Alicia Keys has a great voice and great talent to be named one of the best of her time. She writes her own lyrics and music and her voice is fantastic. She writes of personal experience and spreads emotion through the whole world. And you can't disagree with the message in her songs. She's gorgeous, she sings like an angel and no one else will ever compare. She's an inspiration to everyone and this song is definately one of her top songs, she deserves to be on top, coz she's worked so hard to get there. She's a knockout... She's a GODDESS of music... I love her... CHEERS!
