Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Some people live for the fortune
Some people live for the fame
Some people live for the power
Some people live for the game
[Verse 2]
Some people think physical things
Define what's with in
And I've been there before, but that life's a bore
So full of the superficial
[Verse 3]
Some people want it all (Some people want it all)
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you, babe (If it ain't you, babe)
If I ain't got you, babe (If I ain't got you, babe)
[Verse 4]
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything (Some want everything)
But everything, everything means nothing
If ain't got you
[Verse 5]
Some people search for a fountain
That promises forever young
Some people need three dozen roses
Just to prove you love them
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
Some people want it all (Some people want it all)
But I don't want nothing at all
If ain't you, babe (If it ain't you, babe)
If I ain't got you, babe (If I ain't got you, babe)
[Verse 8]
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything (Some want everything)
But everything, everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, you, you
[Verse 9]
Some people want it all (Some people want it all)
But I don't want nothing at all (Nothing at all)
If it ain't you, babe (If it ain't you, babe)
If I ain't got you, babe (If I ain't got you, babe)
[Verse 10]
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
(Everything means nothing)
If I ain't got you (If I ain't got you)
[Verse 11]
You got me baby, and I got you
You got me baby, and I got you
I wouldn't be the same dude without you
I got everything 'cause I got you
You got me baby, and I got you
You got me baby, and I got you
I wouldn't be the same dude without you
[Verse 12]
Babe
