Somebody Was Watching Over Me
I've been shot up and shipped out
I've been turned away and turned around
Nobody to call my own
I'm in a mean old world alone
Many, many nights I cried
Somebody was on my side
Down in my soul I knew
Some way that I'd get through
Looking back now, I see
Somebody was watching over me
(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
Oh, I've been locked up and locked down
And I've been used and abused
Didn't know if I was uptown or downtown
You know, my life was so confused, I was
Living in a state of depression
Something saved me from my obsession
My strength was put to the test
My weakness put to rest
Looking back now, I see
Somebody was watching over me
(Somebody was watching) hm-hm
(Somebody was watching)
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching over me
(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching over me
(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
Now my bad times is better than my good times used to be
(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
Oh, oh-oh
(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
There was a time
When peace I could not find
Nothing to call my own
No job, no car, no home
Staying in a one-room shack
All I had was the clothes on my back
Each day my only plan
Had a bottle in my hand
Looking back now, I see
Somebody was watching over me
(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching over me
(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching over me
(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
Now my bad times is better than my good times used to be
(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
Somebody was watching
(Somebody was watching over me) oh, oh!
Somebody was watching
(Somebody was watching), yeah
Somebody was watching
(Somebody was watching)
Somebody was watching
(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
I've been turned away and turned around
Nobody to call my own
I'm in a mean old world alone
Many, many nights I cried
Somebody was on my side
Down in my soul I knew
Some way that I'd get through
Looking back now, I see
Somebody was watching over me
(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
Oh, I've been locked up and locked down
And I've been used and abused
Didn't know if I was uptown or downtown
You know, my life was so confused, I was
Living in a state of depression
Something saved me from my obsession
My strength was put to the test
My weakness put to rest
Looking back now, I see
Somebody was watching over me
(Somebody was watching) hm-hm
(Somebody was watching)
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching over me
(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching over me
(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
Now my bad times is better than my good times used to be
(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
Oh, oh-oh

Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching over me
(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching over me
(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
Now my bad times is better than my good times used to be
(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
Somebody was watching
(Somebody was watching over me) oh, oh!
Somebody was watching
(Somebody was watching), yeah
Somebody was watching
(Somebody was watching)
Somebody was watching
(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
(Somebody was watching)
