I never had any reason, for ambition or drive.
In fact, I never had anybody that cared if I'm
alive.
But then one day she came my way and I heard a
voice within me say don't let her get away
whatever you do.
But I never thought that this could be that she
would ever look at me, seriously.
And that's why (oh, Lord, oh, Lord) I gotta be somebody.
I'm down on my knees begging please, please, please,
please.
I've got to win her love for me.
#2.
I grew up on the sidewalks, got along the best I could.
Mama worked all day long, and Papa was no good.
I've never asked for much before but here I am at Heaven's
door so, help me, please, don't let her pass me by.
Cause I would rather die, than see, her love turn into
sympathy for me.
And that's why (oh, Lord, oh, Lord) I gotta be somebody.
I'm down on my knees begging please, please, please,
please.
I've got to win her love for me.
Mmmmm-mmmm-mmm gotta be somebody.
Got to be somebody.
So tired of being a nobody.
Oh, Lord, Lord, Lord, I gotta be somebody.
I'm down on my knees begging please, please, please,
please (Fade.)
