I wont ever let you down [Verse 2] The day has come The sun is moving on She dont know where hell go Or when hes coming home [PreChorus] She said, Son, take care, dont let your dreams get too far out of sight He said, I love you. Now, dont worry about me, you know Ill be fine [Chorus] Cause Im trying to be somebody Im not trying to be somebody else This life is mine Im living Dont you know me? I wont ever let you down No Im not trying to be somebody else Dont you know me? I wont ever let you I wont ever let you [Bridge] What they say What they know What they think wont ever bring me down This life is mine And I am my own [Interlude] Im trying to be somebody Im not trying to be somebody else This life is mine I lead Dont you know me?
