Lyrics
I always said what I wanted
Was to be somebody
Now in your eyes
I want to be somebody
Baby I
Can’t be nobody
If I’m dieing
‘Cause you don’t need nobody
You got to need me
Like oxygen
You make me feel week
Then strong as an ox again
Blind to ya flaws
Like I’m stevie
Wonder how I
Got to be so deeply
Stuck on you even
Though, I been grieving
No, I won’t leave ya
Alone, you’re the Caeser
To my Rome
And When I’m gone
The people gon’ read these
Descriptions of you
And think I was dreaming
See you were real
And understand my allegiance
Man of my word
But I need you to hear me
Out,
Every breath that I’m breathing
Out,
Because I don’t see/need nobody
Else
Chorus(): 2x
I, wanted to be, so much so much
But I, think I need, your love your love
Because I, cant be, somebody
As long as I’m nobody to you
Nobody but you
Can touch you
Words hurt
But don’t cut you
I, love you and trust you
You got love
But you ain’t in it
It’s like your holdin a fishbowl
And I’m in there swimming
Why do you even got it?
Let me ask your opinion
Is it from within
Or just a mirror image?
Do you really love
All this time we been spending?
Or are you just
Trying to protect me from the ending
No, I hope its not the second
I know, that I’m making this diffi-cult
But, sometimes when we’re clicking
It’s like our minds are identi-cal
Other times, our perspectives towards
Relationships are so different
That we’re separated by the way we’ve grown
But yo
When I see you all my pain is gone
And there’s only one way to know
No matter how you look at it,Yes
There’s only one way to know…
Chorus(): 2x
I, wanted to be, so much so much
But I, think I need, your love your love
Because I, cant be, somebody
As long as I’m nobody to you
I realized
That I identify, myself
By who I’m around and well
I wanted you around to tell
Me who I am when I got nothing else
Now that I left home
I got nothing else
To tie myself to
I was trying to help you
Help me, being selfless
Was selfish, I watched as it fell through
Nothing I could tell you
Could put the look in your eyes
That I’ve got in mine
That I’ve got to lose
That I did not choose
But did not, even once
Truly try to undo
And truly we’re guilty
Of not trying to change
I didn’t move and
You didn’t try get me to stay
Did I get in your way?
I can’t expect you say, yes
Because you get me in ways
That make me empty the page
Relentless for days
Now it seems I got to find
Who I am
When we go our separate ways
But I gotta tell ya
Chorus(): 2x
I, wanted to be, so much so much
But I, think I need, your love your love
Because I, cant be, somebody
As long as I’m nobody to you
I got a goal, I want to touch the world
I need a girl, so I can feel secure
I found you, well, you found me
But now I need you, to be somebody
To me, please,
I’m telling you that, I need you and
I’ll sing this around the world
Until I reach the end
I need someone that’s going to keep me in
Their heart if I fall, knee deep in sin
I’ll be the best, the worst
The last, the first
Your driver, your coach
Your doctor, your nurse
I wanted to be important
I wanted to live forever
I wanted to be somebody
I wanted to be remembered
No, I’m not perfect
But I tell you this much
A Nobody is
As a nobody does
But, I’m not perfect
And I never was
But I’d be close enough
If I had your lovin
If I had your lovin
