Be Somebody lyrics

The shades gone up

Mothers staring down

She don't know where he's been

Or how long he's been out

She said 'Boy I'm tired of waiting up while your out with your friends'

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

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 wont ever let you down

The day has come

The sun is moving on

She don't know where he'll go

Or when he's coming home

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'

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 wont ever let you down

No

I'm not trying to be somebody else

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

I wont ever let you

What they say

What they know

What they think wont ever bring me down

This life is mine and I am my own

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?

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 wont ever let you down

Yeahhh

I'm not trying to be somebody else

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

I wont be nobody else

This life is mine and I am my own
