billy joe royal - i gotta 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 p-ss 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 n-body
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
