If I Ain’t Got You

Lyrics

[Intro: Brandon Victor Dixon, Maleah Joi Moon] You remember this song? (No - I do, he knows I do) Okay, well, I wrote it for you when you were a little girl Yo, he knows, as soon as he even brings this song up, it is ringing in my head, and I'm eight, or I'm six, or I'm four, and he... He's my dad, and I got no idea anything is gonna be any different You used to love it, and I used to love singing it to you Bet I still love... [Verse 1: Brandon Victor Dixon] 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: Brandon Victor Dixon] Some people think that the physical things Define what's within And I've been there before, that life's a bore It's so full of the superficial [Chorus: Brandon Victor Dixon] Some people want it all But I don't want nothin' at all If it ain't you, baby If I ain't got you, baby Some people want diamond rings Some just want everything Everything means nothin' If I ain't got you [Interlude: Brandon Victor Dixon] Coming back to you? Not even a little bit? Ha, alright, I'ma keep going [Verse 2: Brandon Victor Dixon, Maleah Joi Moon] Some people search for a - damn, what is it? - fountain Fountain - I knew you knew it That promises forever - oh my God, young - young Some people need three dozen roses And that's the only way to prove you love them [Pre-Chorus: Maleah Joi Moon, Brandon Victor Dixon, Both] Hand me the world on a silver platter And what (Hey) good would it be? With no one to share No one who truly cares for me [Chorus: Brandon Victor Dixon, Maleah Joi Moon, Both] Some people want it all But I don't want nothin' at all If it ain't you, baby If I ain't got you, baby Some people want diamond rings Some just want everything Everything means nothin' If I ain't got you, you, you Some people want it all I don't want nothin' at all If it ain't you, baby If I ain't got you, baby Some people want diamond rings Some just want everything Everything means nothin' (Nothin') If I ain't got you, you, yeah, yeah (Yeah), yeah [Outro: Brandon Victor Dixon & Maleah Joi Moon, Brandon Victor Dixon, Maleah Joi Moon] If I ain't got you with me, baby (You remember?) Hmm, said nothin' in this whole wide world don't mean a thing If I ain't got you with me, baby (Mmm)
