Story Behind The Song
This song was written wiith a jazzy female singer in mind to sing. I layed down some scratch vocals as a guide, but then everyone kept telling me that they liked my voice on it and that i should keep it the way it is ... so i left it, and thats what you are hearing.. the same scratch vocal and everything.

Lyrics
You can make all the millions
You can keep all the gold
you can have all the things you thought you needed
to grow happy and old
You can drive your mercedes
and have your diamond rings
sister you can have your cake and eat it
but it wont mean a thing...
If you aint got love
girl you aint got nothin
no you aint got nothin at all
you aint got love
and you aint got nothin
no you aint got nothin at all
You can live in a mansion
with a pool and a maid
you can shop at the finest places
and be the queen of your own parade
you can keep yourself pretty
and you can treat yourself right
but if you find yourself sad and lonely
inthe cold of the night..
you aint got love
and you aint got nothin
no you aint got nothin at all
you aint got love
and you aint got nothin
no you aint got nothin at all.
So when he promises heaven
and he tempts you with toys
just be sure when the chosing's over
that you've made the right choice
cuz you can live with the money
and the pool and the maid
but if you find that his days are numbered
at the end of the day...
You aint got love
girl you aint got nothin
no you aint got nothin at all
you aint got love
and you aint got nothin
no you aint got nothin at all
repeat chorus
