Be Somebody

[Verse 1]

The shades gone up

Mothers staring down

She don't know where he's been

Or how long he's been out

[Pre-Chorus]

She said, "Boy, I'm tired of waiting up while you're out with your friends"

He said, "Mom, I'm trying and I'm living my life the best way that I can"

[Chorus]

'Cause I'm trying to be somebody

I'm not trying to be somebody else

This life is mine I'm living

Don't you know me? I won't ever let you down

[Verse 2]

The day has come

The sun is moving on

She don't know where he'll go

Or when he's coming home

[Pre-Chorus]

She said, "Son, take care, don't let your dreams get too far out of sight"

He said, "I love you. Now, don't worry about me, you know I'll be fine"

[Chorus]

'Cause I'm trying to be somebody

I'm not trying to be somebody else

This life is mine I'm living

Don't you know me? I won't ever let you down

No

I'm not trying to be somebody else

Don't you know me? I won't ever let you

I won't ever let you

[Bridge]

What they say

What they know

What they think won't ever bring me down

This life is mine

And I am my own

[Interlude]

I'm trying to be somebody

I'm not trying to be somebody else

This life is mine I lead

Don't you know me?

[Chorus]

I'm trying to be somebody

I'm not trying to be somebody else

This life is mine I'm living

Don't you know me? I won't ever let you down

[Outro]

I'm not trying to be somebody else

Don't you know me? I won't ever let you down

I won't be nobody else

This life is mine and I am my own
