[Verse 1]
Everybody wants something, just a little more
We're making a living, and what we're living for
A rich man or a poor man, a pawn or a king
You can live on the street, you can rule the whole world
But you don't mean one damn thing
[Chorus 1]
What do you got, if you ain't got love
Whatever you got, it just ain't enough
You're walking the road, but you're going nowhere
You're trying to find your way home, but there's no one there
Who do you hold, in the dark of night
You wanna give up, but it's worth the fight
You have all the things, that you've been dreaming of
[Chorus 2]
If you ain't got someone, you're afraid to lose
Everybody needs just one, someone... to tell them the truth
Maybe I'm a dreamer, but I still believe
I believe in hope, I believe the change can get us off our knees
[Chorus]
If you ain't got love, it's all just keeping score
If you ain't got love, what the hell we doing it for
[Verse 2]
I don't wanna have to talk about it
How many songs you gotta sing about it
How long you gonna live without it
Why does someone somewhere have to doubt it
Someday you'll figure it out
[Solo]
[Chorus x2]
[Chorus 2]
Everybody wants something, just a little more
We're making a living, and what we're living for
A rich man or a poor man, a pawn or a king
You can live on the street, you can rule the whole world
But you don't mean one damn thing
[Chorus 1]
What do you got, if you ain't got love
Whatever you got, it just ain't enough
You're walking the road, but you're going nowhere
You're trying to find your way home, but there's no one there
Who do you hold, in the dark of night
You wanna give up, but it's worth the fight
You have all the things, that you've been dreaming of
[Chorus 2]
If you ain't got someone, you're afraid to lose
Everybody needs just one, someone... to tell them the truth
Maybe I'm a dreamer, but I still believe
I believe in hope, I believe the change can get us off our knees
[Chorus]
If you ain't got love, it's all just keeping score
If you ain't got love, what the hell we doing it for
[Verse 2]
I don't wanna have to talk about it
How many songs you gotta sing about it
How long you gonna live without it
Why does someone somewhere have to doubt it
Someday you'll figure it out
