If You Wanna Be Somebody
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If you wanna be somebody
If you wanna go somewhere,
you better wake up and pay attention.
(heeey)
So you think you've got the anwsers
to all the lives ahead.
Well in my mind I thought the same one time
and I hear you spoutin' much talk about you not being there.
Ain't no one telling you what to do.
But attitude will catch up with you,
and keep you from your destiny.
If you wanna be somebody
If you wanna go somewhere,
you better wake up and pay attention.
When the time is now or never
to make your dreams come true,
you better wake up and pay attention.
I ain't buying no more lying
cause truth don't cost a thing
Denying what's inside is too much to pay.
It's by sweatin' without stressin',
there ain't no other way.
You know you can't get much without much giving.
Oh, expect from yourself and you respect yourself.
You control your destiny.
If you wanna be somebody (be somebody)
If you wanna go somewhere,
you better wake up and pay attention.
The time is now or never
to make your dreams come true,
you gotta' wake up and pay attention.
If you wanna be somebody(be somebody)
If you wanna go somewhere(go somewhere)
you better wake up and pay attention(wake up and pay attention)
When the time is now or never
to make your dreams come true,
you better wake up and pay attention.
Time to wake up everybody,
time to wake up children.
Wake up everybody....
If you wanna be somebody(be somebody)
If you wanna go somewhere(go somewhere)
you better wake up and pay attention( pay attention)
When the time is now or never
to make your dreams come true,
you gotta' wake up and pay attention.
If you wanna be somebody(wake up)
and go somewhere ( wake up and pay attention).
The time is now or never,
to make your dreams come true.
You gotta wake up and pay attention.
If you wanna be somebody(wake up)
and go somewhere ( wake up and pay attention).
The time is now or never,
to make your dreams come true.
You gotta wake up and pay attention......
