I've Got To Be Somebody Lyrics

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

[CHORUS]

And that's why

I've got to be somebody

I'm down on my knees

Begging please please please please

I've got to win her love for me

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'd rather die than see

Her love turn into sympathy for me

(CHORUS)

Got to be somebody

Got to be somebody

So tired of being a nobody

I've got to be somebody

I'm down on my knees

Begging please please please please

I've got to win her love for me
