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.
