[Intro]
Oh yeah
Oh oh oh

[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 pеople 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 peoplе want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, yeah

[Verse 2]
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
Listen, baby

[Pre-Chorus]
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, you, 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, baby, yeah

[Outro]
If I ain't got you with me, baby
Ooh, nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing
If I ain't got you with me, baby, yeah, hey

Thank you so much for such a beautiful greeting here
Thank you so much
It's my honor to be here with you tonight, I swear
It's my honor to see faces that know and love
Thank you for going down the journey with me
Different songs and different inspirations
Thank you for caring at all
Truly, I love you, and I'm blessed
I'm blessed by your love
I'm very grateful for this very intimate, beautiful night that we have
I'll never never forget it, I'll never forget this beautiful night
So thank you for being part of it

'Cause I really love you, baby
I really thank you so much for all you do
And all you give, and all you show
And every time you come and see me
I feel the love
I know that I don't got anything if I ain't got you
That's the truth, I'm tellin' you, 'cause
See, they may want diamonds, and pearls
And they may want cars and houses and all those kinda things
But I just want your love
And I just wanna be with you and
Hangin' out right here now, baby
Hangin' out right here now, baby
I...I ain't got you
(If I ain't got you)
If I ain't got you, baby, I don't want nothin', baby
(If I ain't got you) Oh oh oh oh, no
(If I ain't got you) If I ain't got you, you, you
If I ain't got you
If I ain't got you
If I ain't got you
If I ain't got you
If I ain't got you
You

Can you give it up for my band one time?
Beautiful job
