Mr. No-one, he wanted to be a star 
That’s all we are trying to do 
We’re just tryin’ to make our mark 
He believed in a big future 
Wanted everyone to look and say “there he goes…” 
He said: “Life’s much better when you’re rich” 
I said: “Isn’t a man made of more than his clothes?" 
He told me: “I wanna be somebody” 
(I wanna be somebody) 
“I know I am somebody” 
(I know I am somebody, yeah) 
“I wanna be somebody” 
(I wanna be somebody) 
“I know I am somebody 
(I know I am someboy) 
But I need real somebody, yeah 
You shoot your arrow in the air 
And it flies real high 
Well, good for you but that don’t mean 
Everybody’s going to 
You shoot your arrow in the air 
And it flies real high 
Well good for you but that don’t mean 
Everybody’s going to 
Soon you’re gonna rise up singing 
Believing you can leave all this behind 
Your daddy ain’t rich and your mamma never loved you 
But still you’re gonna spread your wings and fly 
He said: “if only they could really see me 
But how could I ever be sure 
Life’s much better when you see it on TV 
This hope is a curse and a cure” 
He told me: “I wanna be somebody” 
(I wanna be somebody) 
“I know I am somebody” 
(I know I am somebody, yeah) 
“I wanna be somebody” 
(I wanna be somebody) 
“I know I am somebody 
(I know I am someboy) 
But I need real somebody, yeah 
You shoot your arrow in the air 
And it flies real high 
Well, good for you but that don’t mean 
Everybody’s going to 
You shoot your arrow in the air 
And it flies real high 
Well good for you but that don’t mean 
Everybody’s going to 
I wanna be somebody 
(I wanna be somebody) 
I know I am somebody 
(I know I am somebody) 
But I need real somebody 
I wanna be somebody 
(I wanna be somebody) 
I know I am somebody 
(I know I am somebody) 
But I need real somebody 
I wanna be somebody 
(I wanna be somebody) 
I know I am somebody 
(I know I am somebody) 
But I need real somebody 
I wanna be somebody 
(I wanna be somebody) 
I know I am somebody 
(I know I am somebody) 
But I need real somebody 
You shoot your arrow in the air 
And it flies real high 
Well, good for you but that don’t mean 
Everybody’s going to
