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, but 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
That 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?
And no one to share
With no one who truly be 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
So nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing
If I ain't got you with me, baby.

Momentos são iguais
àqueles
Em que eu te amei
Palavras são iguais
àquelas
Que eu te dediquei
Eu escrevi na fria
areia
Um nome para amar
O mar chegou, tudo
apagou
Palavras leva o mar
Teu coração praia
distante
Em meu perdido olhar
Teu coração, mais inconstante
Que a incerteza do
mar
Meu castelo de carinhos
Eu nem pude terminar
Momentos meus que
foram teus
Agora é recordar...

Somebody ran away saying fast as I can
I got to go, I got to go
Once upon a time, we fell apart
You're holding in your hands the two halves of my heart
