Joe South - So the Seeds Are Growing

I've Got to Be Somebody

I never had any reason
For ambition or drive
In fact I never had nobody
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 who would ever think that she
Would ever have a look at me
Seriously?

Oh Lord, oh Lord
I've got to be somebody, yeah
Down on my knees
Beggin' please, please, please
I've got to win her love for me

I grew up on the sidewalks
Got along the best I could, yeah
Daddy worked all day long
But it didn't seem to do no good, no

I've never asked for much before
But here I am at Heaven's door
And I'll return the favor
If I can

But I would rather die than see
Her love turn into sympathy
For me

Oh Lord, oh Lord
I've got to be somebody
Yes, I have
Down on my knees
Beggin' please, please, please
I've got to win her love for me

Yeah, yeah
Got to be somebody
Somebody hear me now
