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

23 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal DANG! This song is sooooooo sexy! The first time I heard it, I thought it was amazing. Me and one of my best friends made it our "personal" song. We sing it together all the time. I was so obsessed with the song that I found the sheet music once I got home from after hearing it. I can't master it like Alicia, but I've got the chords. Alicia -- if you ever decide to pull up on the greatest lyrics site ever, you are sooooo awesome. You're my idol, man. This is the best song done by her, personally. It's already getting top ratings. =)
