lyrics

Could’ve Been Somebody – Keith Thompson

Could’ve been somebody, I could’ve been somebody good
Could’ve been somebody, I could’ve been somebody good
But I was always fooling around, never did a thing I should

I could have been a teacher but I never paid attention at school
I could have been a teacher but I never paid attention at school
I was always fooling around breaking every single one of those rules

I could have been a preacher but my little girl wouldn’t let me pray
I could have been a preacher but my little girl wouldn’t let me pray
We all need love, don’t matter what anybody says

Gonna be somebody, Gonna be somebody good
Gonna be somebody, Gonna be somebody good
Stop fooling around and do everything I should
