I loosen my tie, I loosen my tie
Locking down the door with the rhythm and rhyme

[Verse 2]
Trying to recall what you want me to say
I shake your way, I shake your way
Counting on the night for a beautiful day
I shake your way, I shake your way
[Refrain]
And I say, you can't get enough
No, you can't get enough
[Chorus]
Given a chance
I'm gonna be somebody

Open the door
It's gonna make you love me
Facing the floor
I'm gonna be somebody
[Verse 3]
Now is your time and you know where you stand

[Refrain]
And I say, you can't get enough
No, you can't get enough (Can't get enough)
[Chorus]
Given a chance
I'm gonna be somebody
If for one dance
I'm gonna be somebody
Open the door
It's gonna make you love me
Facing the floor
I'm gonna be somebody
[Outro]
Be somebody
