"If I Ain't Got You"

This one is for you, God. It's been a long time.

ps: am deleting the word "baby" from the lyrics as I have never referred to You using such word. Perhaps I should :p

Some people live for the fortune
Some people live just for the fame
Some people live for the power
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
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
If I ain't got You
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got You

Some people search for a fountain
That promises forever 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

[Chorus:]
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't You
If I ain't got You
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
If I ain't got You
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 with me
So nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing
If I ain't got You with me

PPS: I feel like Whoopy Goldberg in SisterAct.
