If I Aint Got You is a song by American singer and songwriter Alicia Keys. It was inspired by the tragic deaths of Aaliyah in 2001 and the September 11 attacks in the United States. The song expresses the idea that true love is more important than material possessions and fame.
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 But that life's a bore 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 But everything means nothing If I ain't got you
Some people search for a fountain That promises forever young (you know) Some people need three dozen roses And that's the only way to prove you love them
Hand me the world on a silver plater 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 But everything means nothing If I ain't got you you you Some peo-ple 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
Yeahhhhhh If I ain't got you with me, baby, ooh Said nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing if I ain't got you with me, baby B chromatic scale up an octave, G note in the bass.
