Billy Joe Royal - I've Got To Be Somebody lyrics

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 pa** 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
