I Gotta Be Somebody Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I never had any reason for ambition or drive
In fact I never had nobody 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"

[Pre-Chorus]
But I never thought that this could be
That she would ever look at me seriously
[Chorus]
And that's why
Oh Lord (I gotta be somebody), oh Lord (I gotta be somebody)
I've gotta be somebody (I gotta be somebody)
Yes, I have (I gotta be somebody)
I'm down on my knees (I gotta be somebody)
And I'm begging (I gotta be somebody)
Please, please, please, please (I gotta be somebody)
I've gotta win her love for me

[Verse 2]
I grew up on the sidewalks got along the best I could
Mama worked all day long, and Papa was no good
I never asked for much before
But here I am at Heaven's door
So, help me, please, don't let her pass me by
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I would rather die than see
Her love turn into sympathy for me

[Chorus]
And that's why
Oh Lord (I gotta be somebody), oh Lord (I gotta be somebody)
I've gotta be somebody (I gotta be somebody)
Yes, I have (I gotta be somebody)
I'm down on my knees (I gotta be somebody)
And I'm begging (I gotta be somebody)
Please, please, please, please (I gotta be somebody)
I've gotta win her love for me
[Bridge]
Mm-hmm-hmm-mm
Gotta be somebody
Yes, I have
Gotta be somebody
I'm tired of being a nobody

[Chorus]
Oh Lord (I gotta be somebody), oh Lord (I gotta be somebody)
You know, I've gotta be somebody (I gotta be somebody)
Yes, I have (I gotta be somebody)
Down on my knees (I gotta be somebody)
Begging (I gotta be somebody)
Please, please, please (I gotta be somebody)
I've gotta win her love for me
