i gotta be somebody - joe south lyrics
i never had any reason
for ambition or drive
in fact i never had n-body
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
yes, i have
i’m down on my knees
and i’m begging please, please, please, please
i’ve gotta 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 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 would rather die than see
her love turn into sympathy for me
and that’s why
oh lord, oh lord
i gotta be somebody
yes, i have
i’m down on my knees
and i’m begging please, please, please, please
i’ve gotta win her love for me
mm-hmm-hmm-mm
gotta be somebody
yes, i have
gotta be somebody
i’m tired of being a n-body
oh lord, oh lord
know, i gotta be somebody
yes, i have
down on my knees
begging please, please, please
i’ve gotta win her love for me
