Shoot An Arrow Lyrics

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'

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

I wanna be somebody
(I wanna be somebody)
I know I am somebody
(I know I am somebody)
But I need real somebody
I wanna be somebody
(I wanna be somebody)
I know I am somebody
(I know I am somebody)
But I need real somebody
I wanna be somebody
(I wanna be somebody)
I know I am somebody
(I know I am somebody)
But I need real somebody
I wanna be somebody
(I wanna be somebody)
I know I am somebody
(I know I am somebody)
But I need real somebody

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
