I've Got To Be Somebody

Billy Joe Royal

Transposer:

Intro: #1. I never had any reason for ambition or drive. In fact I never had anybody that cared if I’m   alive. But then one day she came my way and I heard a   voice within me say don’t let her get away.. whatever you do. But I never thought that this could be..that she   would ever look at me seriously. And that’s why (oh Lord oh Lord) I gotta be somebody. I’m down on my knees..begging please please please   please. I’ve got to win her love for me. INTERLUDE: #2. I grew up on the sidewalks got along the best I could. Mama worked all day long and Papa was no good. I’ve never asked for much before but here I am at Heaven’s   door..so help me please don’t let her pass me by. Cause I would rather die than see her love turn into   sympathy for me. And that’s why (oh Lord oh Lord) I gotta be somebody. I’m down on my knees..begging please please please   please. I’ve got to win her love for me.       Bridge: Mmmmm-mmmm-mmm..gotta be somebody. Got to be somebody. So tired of being a nobody. OUTRO: Oh Lord Lord Lord I gotta be somebody. I’m down on my knees..begging please please please   please..(Fade.) A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.

La chanson évoque le désir profond d'un homme de faire ses preuves et de se réaliser, particulièrement dans le cadre d'une relation amoureuse. Il exprime son vécu difficile, marqué par un manque de soutien dans son enfance, et la manière dont l'amour d'une femme lui donne l'espoir et la motivation d'être quelqu'un. Il se retrouve à prier pour ne pas laisser passer cette chance, soulignant ainsi l'importance de sa quête personnelle et affective. Le contexte qui ressort ici est celui d'une lutte intérieure, où le protagoniste passe d'une existence sans but à une quête passionnée de reconnaissance et d'amour. Cela fait résonner des thèmes universels de recherche d'identité et de valorisation de soi.
