I’ve Got to Be Somebody Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I never had any reason
For ambition or drive
In fact I never 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

[Chorus]
And that's why
Oh, Lord, oh, Lord
I've got to be somebody
I'm down on my knees
Begging please, please, please, please
I got to win her love for me

[Verse 2]
I grew upon 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
'Cause I would rather die than see
Her love turn into sympathy
For me

[Chorus]
And that's why
Oh, Lord, oh, Lord
I've got to be somebody
I'm down on my knees
Begging please, please, please, please
I got to win her love for me

[Bridge]
Mmm, mm-mm
Got to be somebody
Got to be a somebody
So tired of being a nobody

[Chorus]
Oh, Lord, oh, Lord
I've got to be somebody
I'm down on my knees
Begging please, please, please, please
I got to win her love for me
