If I Ain’t Got You

You remember this song?

No

I do, he knows I do

Okay, well, I wrote it for you when you were a little girl

Yo, he knows as soon as he even brings this song up

It is ringing in my head, and I'm eight or I'm six or I'm four, and he's—

He's my dad, and I got no idea anything is going to be any different

You used to love it, and I used to love singing it to you

Bet I still will

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've been there before, that life's a bore

It's 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

Everything means nothing

If I ain't got you

Coming back to you?

Not even a little bit? Alright, I'ma keep going

Some people search for a, damn, what is it? A—

Fountain

Fountain, I knew you knew it!

That promises forever—

Oh my god, young

Young

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

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

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

Nothing

If I ain't got you, you, yeah, yeah

Yeah

Yeah

If I ain't got you with me, baby

You remember?

Mmm-mmm, said nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing

If I ain't got you with me, baby
