Be Somebody

If you wanna love somebody, gotta be somebody
If you're not somebody, then there's no one to love boy
If you wanna be somebody, gotta chase somebody
If you know somebody, go and follow their lead boy

You gotta go and chase your dreams, and if it all works out
Oh, let me tell you something, they're gonna follow your lead boy
You gotta go and pour out your heart, and if it don't work out
Oh, let me tell you something, you're right back where you started, boy

I'll call you up when I got my head on my shoulders
I'm fucking up and I do everything wrong now
I wish I met you when I got a little older
Cause I would carry myself like a soldier

I met a girl last week, I told her everything
She said, Just Fyi, we're only friends now
That's a weird ass way to say it, but okay
I'm not gonna argue, babe, have it your way

If you wanna love somebody, gotta be somebody
If you're not somebody, then there's no one to love boy
If you wanna be somebody, gotta chase somebody
If you know somebody, go and follow their lead boy

You gotta go and chase your dreams, and if it all works out
Oh, let me tell you something, they're gon follow your lead boy
You gotta go and pour out your heart, and if it don't work out
Oh, let me tell you something, you're right back where you started, boy

I've never been one to bite my tongue
I'll say whatever whenever, because if I don't, then I'll never get it out
It's kind of fun, it gets the bad friends out
And the good ones want me to shut my mouth

I do it because it comes to my mind
and I let it out, it helps me unwind
It makes me feel nice, and warm inside
And I don't want anybody to hold me down

If you wanna love somebody, gotta be somebody
If you're not somebody, then there's no one to love, boy
If you wanna be somebody, gotta chase somebody
If you know somebody, go and follow their lead, boy
