Lyrics
Aint Got You by Dave Rebeiro and Craig Pinkney
High on the hill looking over the town
City Lights like the jewels in a crown
Got the keys to the city the worlds at my door
But why should I need anymore
It don't mean a thing
If I aint got you
Well we both came from the streets
Where the life was pretty mean
And the hustle made us strong
Looking out for one another like a sister and a brother
Sworn to right the wrongs
Fought my way to the top thought if I could be king
Then how could I need anymore
But it don't mean a thing
If I aint got you
You never asked the question why
But I could see it in your eye
I know you wonder
And if you left I'd go insane
I'd be tear drops in the rain
I'd go under
If I stood in worn out shoes
Slept on the Wall Street News
Would our eyes again meet
If the riches never came would the story be the same
I've got to let you see
I'm alone in the world and all the money can't buy
The feeling I get for you
Money don't mean a thing
If I aint got you
Oh I need you so bad
I've never been so sad
Cause I don't have you
Don't have you babe
And all the riches in the world
Don't mean a thing without you girl
Want hold you in my arms
Aint got you
