If Ain't Got You
Love Beyond Riches: Sofia Olea Levet's If Ain't Got You Meaning
Lyrics
Some people live for the fortune
Some individuals prioritize wealth in their lives.
Some people live just for the fame
Others focus on seeking fame and recognition.
Some people live for the power, yeah
There are those who chase after power.
Some people live just to play the game
Some live solely to engage in life's competitions and challenges.
Some people think
There's a belief held by some.
That the physical things
They believe material possessions define one's inner worth.
Define what's within
They think external things reflect internal qualities.
And I've been there before
The singer has experienced this mentality in the past.
That life's a bore
Life seemed mundane and uninteresting.
So full of the superficial
Life felt shallow and focused only on surface-level matters.
Some people want it all
Some desire everything available to them.
But I don't want nothing at all
The singer doesn't desire anything except one specific thing.
If it ain't you, baby
The singer emphasizes their desire for a particular person.
If I ain't got you, baby
The singer doesn't need anything but that person's presence.
Some people want diamond rings
Some crave expensive, luxurious items like diamond rings.
Some just want everything
Others desire to possess everything available.
But everything means nothing
Despite having everything, it feels meaningless without something specific.
If I ain't got you, yeah
Without that specific thing (the person), everything else loses value.
Some people search for a fountain
Some seek eternal youth and beauty.
Promises forever young
They hope for everlasting promises and commitment.
Some people need three dozen roses
For some, receiving romantic gestures like dozens of roses is essential to feel loved.
And that's the only way to prove you love them
They perceive these gestures as proof of love.
Hand me the world on a silver platter
Offering the world on a silver platter means nothing significant.
And what good would it be
Without someone to share it with, all riches are meaningless.
With no one to share, with no one who truly cares for me
Having no one who genuinely cares renders wealth worthless.
Some people want it all
Some aspire for everything life can offer.
But I don't want nothing at all
The singer reiterates their lack of desire for anything except one specific person.
If it ain't you, baby
The singer emphasizes their need for that particular person.
If I ain't got you, baby
The singer doesn't require anything but that person's presence.
Some people want diamond rings
Some desire expensive, luxurious items like diamond rings.
Some just want everything
Others aim to possess everything available.
But everything means nothing
Despite having everything, it feels meaningless without something specific.
If I ain't got you, you, you
Without that specific thing (the person), everything else loses value.
Some people want it all
Some aspire for everything life can offer.
But I don't want nothing at all
The singer reiterates their lack of desire for anything except one specific person.
If it ain't you, baby
The singer emphasizes their need for that particular person.
If I ain't got you, baby
The singer doesn't require anything but that person's presence.
Some people want diamond rings
Some desire expensive, luxurious items like diamond rings.
Some just want everything
Others aim to possess everything available.
But everything means nothing
Despite having everything, it feels meaningless without something specific.
If I ain't got you, yeah
Without that specific thing (the person), everything else loses value.
If I ain't got you with me, baby, oh, ooh
The singer reiterates the significance of having that specific person.
Said nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing
The singer believes nothing in the world matters without that person.
If I ain't got you with me, baby
Having that specific person is of utmost importance to the singer.
