[Verse 1]
When I was just sixteen I stood waiting for a dream
A Barker Street bus station non-affair
When I tried to get it on she just looked at me with scorn
My courage turned to dust and I took flight
For those looks, they seemed to say
You ain't nothing, go away
You're just a face in the crowd
So I went home and I vowed
[Refrain]
I'm gonna be somebody, someday
[Verse 2]
Her name was Irene Wilde
Oh, such beauty for a child
She started dating boys, I nearly died
For I could not barely stand
Seeing someone hold her hand
I felt I had to run away and hide
In my mother's sitting room
Composed so many tunes
All the same, just for fame
For her name, and just to say
[Refrain]
Gonna be somebody, someday
When I was just sixteen I stood waiting for a dream
A Barker Street bus station non-affair
When I tried to get it on she just looked at me with scorn
My courage turned to dust and I took flight
For those looks, they seemed to say
You ain't nothing, go away
You're just a face in the crowd
So I went home and I vowed
[Refrain]
I'm gonna be somebody, someday
[Verse 2]
Her name was Irene Wilde
Oh, such beauty for a child
She started dating boys, I nearly died
For I could not barely stand
Seeing someone hold her hand
I felt I had to run away and hide
In my mother's sitting room
Composed so many tunes
All the same, just for fame
For her name, and just to say
[Refrain]
Gonna be somebody, someday
