Somebody Up There Likes Me lyrics

[Verse 1]

He's everybody's token, on everybody's wall

Blessing all the papers, thanking one and all

Hugging all the babies, kissing all the ladies

Knowing all that you think about from writing on the wall

[Pre-Chorus]

He's so divine, his soul shines

Breaks the night, sleep tight

His ever loving face smiles on the whole human race

He says "I'm somebody"

[Chorus 1]

He's got his eye on your soul, his hand on your heart

He says "don't hurry, baby

Somebody up there (somebody) likes me"

[Verse 2]

He's the savage son of the TV tube, planets wrote the day was due

All the wisest men around, predicted that a man was found

Who looked a lot like you and me, yeah

Everyone with sense could see

Nothing left his eye unmoved, he had the plan, he had to use

[Pre-Chorus]

(Somebody) he's so divine, (ooh, ooh) his soul shines

Breaks the night, sleep tight (somebody up there)

(Somebody) his ever loving face (ooh, ooh)

Smiles on the whole human race

(Somebody, somebody, somebody up there)

[Chorus]

(Somebody) he's got his eye on your soul

(Ooh, ooh) and his hand on your heart

He says "don't hurry, baby

Somebody up there (somebody)

[Bridge]

Somebody plays my song in tune

Makes me, makes me, makes me stronger for you, babe

Was a way when we were young, that

Any man was judged by what he'd done

But now you've pick them on the screen (what they look like)

Where they've been

[Chorus]

Keep your eye on your soul and your hand on your heart

He says "don't hurry, baby

Somebody up there (somebody)

[Verse 3]

Leaders come, they hate all the people know

That given time, the leaders go

Tell me, can they hold you under their spell?

Can they walk and hold you as well as a

Smile like Valentino? Could he sell you anything?

(Somebody, somebody)

[Chorus]

Keep your eye on your soul, keep your hand on your heart

He says "Don't hurry, baby

Somebody up there (somebody) likes me"

[Outro]

(Somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody)

(Somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody)

Somebody (somebody) somebody (somebody)

Somebody (somebody, somebody)

Somebody (somebody) somebody (somebody)

Somebody (somebody, somebody)

Yeah, can't remember (somebody) peace so well

Oh, space to ramble, (somebody, somebody) space to boogie

Soul shine (ooh-ooh), so divine

Somebody (ooh-ooh, somebody)

Soul shine (Ooh-ooh), so divine

Somebody (ooh-ooh)

(Somebody)

Somebody, somebody, somebody

Yeah, can't remember peace so well

Can't remember peace so well

Can't remember peace so well

Soul shines (somebody)

Soul shines, so divine, somebody (somebody)

Soul shines, so divine, somebody (somebody)
