I've heard of all the same old stories
And I've walked alone, the same old avenues
I know the pavement doesn't move, so if we leave here
Then what we got to lose?
I wanna be somebody
I wanna leave this town
I wanna be somebody
Forever
I wanna be somebody
I wanna find what's out
I wanna be somebody
Forever
I wanna be someone
It's time for us
To choose a new direction
But I know that it's more difficult for you
For the record
You've been the best thing that could happen
If you can't decide
Then I know the reason why
I wanna be somebody
I wanna leave this town
I wanna be somebody
Forever
I wanna be somebody
I wanna find what's out
I wanna be somebody
Forever
I wanna be someone
I wanna be someone
