I Wanna Be Somebody

I was a wannabe

Gonna be somebody

Gonna make history

Why settle for less?

Some kind of superman

With a God-given plan

Whose footprints in the sand

Would show my success

What if what matters ain't whether I reach the top?

What if what matters is whether I help you up?

I wanna be somebody

I wanna be somebody

For someone like you

I wanna be somebody

Don't wanna be nobody

For someone like you

In a reality

TV society

Where you be somebody

If you get undressed

What if what matters ain't whether I reach the top?

What if what matters is whether I help you up?

I wanna be somebody

I wanna be somebody

For someone like you

I wanna be somebody

Don't wanna be nobody

For someone like you

What if what matters ain't whether I get to the top

But how I treat the people I meet on the way up?

What if what matters when everything is said and done

And whether I was someone

Is whether I was kind?

I wanna be somebody

I wanna be somebody

For someone like you

I wanna be somebody

Don't wanna be nobody

For someone like you

I wanna be somebody

I wanna be somebody

For someone like you

I wanna be somebody

Don't wanna be nobody

For someone like you

For someone like you
