John Adams - If I Ain't Got You (Alicia Keys Acoustic Cover)

I've wanted to do my own spin on 'If I Aint Got you' by Alicia Keys for as long as I've known the song existed, but if I'm honest I was worried I wouldn't do it justice and maybe it's already perfect as it is. lol

I built up the courage, stripped it back, dropped it a few keys and held my breath as I released it into the world. I've been so flattered by the response. People everywhere are using it to create reels of their favourite memories and it's coming up to 5 Million Spotify streams already. Thank you for the love and confidence boost.

Personally I think it's one of the best love songs of all time. Would you agree? What do you think would challenge it?

Thank you for listening

JOHN

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
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, yeah
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
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
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 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, yeah
If I ain't got you with me, baby, oh, ooh
Said nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing
If I ain't got you with me, baby
