I've Got to Be Somebody

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, Lord, Lord
 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 pass 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'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
 ♪
 Got to be somebody
 ♪
 Got to be somebody
 So tired of being a nobody
 Oh, Lord, Lord, Lord
 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
