Can You Reach My Friend |
Mr. Noone, 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 wanna be somebody' |
(I know I am somebody, yeah) |
'I wanna be somebody' |
(I wanna be somebody) |
'I wanna be 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' |
