[Verse 1: Alicia Keys]
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: Alicia Keys]
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: Alicia Keys]
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
But everything means nothin'
If I ain't got you, yeah
[Verse 2: Usher with Alicia Keys]
Some people search for a fountain
Promises forever young
Some people need three dozen roses
And that's the only way to prove you love them
[Pre-Chorus: Usher & Alicia Keys]
Listen, baby, 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: Usher, Alicia Keys, 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 (Hey, hey, want it all)
Some justwant everything
But everything means nothin'
If I ain't got you, you, you
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
But everything means nothin'
If I ain't got you, yeah
[Outro: Alicia Keys, Usher, Both]
If I ain't got you with me, baby (With me, baby)
Said nothin' in this whole wide world don't mean a thing
If I ain't got you with me, baby
Just us
