"If I Ain't Got You" is a song written and performed by American singer-songwriter Alicia Keys. Here are the lyrics to the song:
Verse 1: 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
Pre-Chorus: Some people think that the physical things Define what's within And I've 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
Verse 2: Some people search for a fountain Promised land Just a matter of time Some people need three dozen roses And that's the only way You know you're mine
Pre-Chorus: Some people give me things And you know they don't mean a thing If I ain't got you, baby
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
Bridge: I don't know where my life would be I don't know what I would do I don't know how I'd make it through Without the love you bring
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
Outro: If I ain't got you, baby If I ain't got you, baby If I ain't got you, baby If I ain't got you, baby If I ain't got you, baby If I ain't got you, baby If I ain't got you, baby If I ain't got you, baby
The song was released in 2004, part of her second album "The Diary of Alicia Keys"
