What Do You Got? Lyrics

Everybody wants something just a little more
Making a living in what were living for
A rich man or a poor man
A pawn or a king
You can live on the street, you can rule the whole world
But it don't mean one damn thing

What do you got, if you ain't got love?
Whatever you got, it just ain't enough
You're walking the road, but you're going nowhere
You're trying to find your way home, but there's no one there
Who do you hold, in the dark of night?
You wanna give up, but it's worth the fight
You can have all the things, that you've been dreaming of

If you ain't got someone, you're afraid to lose
Everybody needs just one, someone, to tell them the truth
Maybe I'm a dreamer, but I still believe
I believe in hope, I believe the change can get us up off our knees

What do you got, if you ain't got love?
Whatever you got, it just ain't enough
You're walking the road, but you're going nowhere
You're trying to find your way home, but there's no one there
Who do you hold, in the dark of night?
You wanna give up, but it's worth the fight
You can have all the things, that you've been dreaming of

If you ain't got love, it's all just keeping score
If you ain't got love, what the hell are we doing it for

I don't wanna have to talk about it,
How many songs you gotta sing about it?
How long you gonna live without it?
Why does someone somewhere have to doubt it?
Someday you'll figure it out

What do you got, if you ain't got love?
Whatever you got, it just ain't enough
You're walking the road, but you're going nowhere
You're trying to find your way home, but there's no one there
Who do you hold, in the dark of night?
You wanna give up, but it's worth the fight
You can have all the things, that you've been dreaming of

If you ain't got love, it's all just keeping score
If you ain't got love, what the hell are we doing it for

If you ain't got love
What do you got, if you ain't got love?
What do you got, if you ain't got love?

This song is so true.

Cover art for What Do You Got? lyrics by Bon Jovi

This song takes me back to ever since I was younger. Me and my friends and anyone else would get asked the question what do you want more than anything else? And while others want nice cars, or fame and fortune I would always respond with love. 'Cause what's the point of success if you have no one special to share it all with?

A rich man or a poor man A pawn or a king You can live on the street, you can rule the whole world But it don't mean one damn thing What do you got, if you ain't got love?

couldn't be better said.
