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
And that's why, oh Lord, Lord, Lord
I got to be somebody
I'm down on my knees
Begging please, please, please, please
I got to win her love for me
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
And that's why I'm, oh, Lord, Lord, Lord
I got to be somebody
I'm down on my knees
Begging please, please, please, please
I got to win her love for me
Mmm
Got to be somebody
Got to be a somebody
So tired of being a nobody
Oh, Lord, Lord, Lord
I got to be somebody
I'm down on my knees
Begging please, please, please, please
I got to win her love for me
