Intro: #1. 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. And that's why (oh, Lord, oh, Lord) I gotta be somebody. I'm down on my knees..begging please, please, please, please. I've got to win her love for me. INTERLUDE: #2. 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 would rather die, than see, her love turn into sympathy for me. And that's why (oh, Lord, oh, Lord) I gotta be somebody. I'm down on my knees..begging please, please, please, please. I've got to win her love for me. Bridge: Mmmmm-mmmm-mmm..gotta be somebody. Got to be somebody. So tired of being a nobody. OUTRO: Oh, Lord, Lord, Lord, I gotta be somebody. I'm down on my knees..begging please, please, please, please..(Fade.) A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
