This is my song for a nobody like me
This is my song for a nobody like me

Oh I wore a nice dress
But you still weren't impressed with me

Oh i dropped a few names
But you still looked at me the same

Oh why do I play these silly games?

Oh I just want to be somebody
Somebody is all I want to be
I just want to be somebody
Somebody is all I want to be

I wish that I could curl up in ball
Being a little somebody is better than being a little nobody at all

When you're a nobody
Nobody cares if you fall

And they never call

Oh you just want to be somebody
I know, somebody is all you want to be
Oh you just want to be somebody
Somebody is all you want to be

Not quite sure when these degrees
Of importance came in

But when they did they brought a stale and snobby wind
Telling me that this somebody is more important than this nobody

Well thank you very much, but your preferentially
never did any good for me

But if you're unhappy with your status
I know of a secret apparatus
That will have us all a somebody
Before the day is through
You be a somebody to me, and I'll be a somebody to you
