Somebody Lyrics

You were a cute girl standing backstage
It was bound to happen
You had a smile across your face
It was bound to happen
What you wore and how you bore it so well
What did you expect would happen?
You were a cute girl standing backstage
It was bound to happen

I took on heaven
Took on heaven
Took on heaven
To find peace
I took on the world
Took on the world
Took on the world
To find me again

I am not my body
I am somebody
I am not my body
I am somebody

I took on heaven
Took on heaven
Took on heaven
To find peace
I took on the world
Took on the world
Took on the world
To find me again

I am not my body
I am somebody
I am not my body
I am somebody
I am not my body
I am somebody
I am not my body
I am somebody

I took on heaven
Took on heaven
Took on heaven
To find peace
I took on the world
Took on the world
Took on the world
To find me again

I am not my body
I am somebody
I am not my body
I am somebody

I took on heaven
Took on heaven
Took on heaven
To find peace
I took on the world
Took on the world
Took on the world
To find me again

I am not my body
I am somebody
I am not my body
I am somebody

I took on heaven
Took on heaven
Took on heaven
To find peace
I took on the world
Took on the world
Took on the world
To find me again

I am not my body
I am somebody
I am not my body
I am somebody
I am not my body
I am somebody
I am not my body
I am somebody

I took on heaven
Took on heaven
Took on heaven
To find peace
I took on the world
Took on the world
Took on the world
To find me again

I am not my body
I am somebody
I am not my body
I am somebody

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

“Somebody” explores the idea of female sexuality a step further and places it implicitly with the individual. Existence in a female body is not consent; makeup is not consent; clothing is not consent; making out with someone is not (necessarily) consent. “Somebody” is a response to the outpouring of pain, strength and solidarity during The Slut Walk in Reykjavik summer before last, the need for this dialogue globally was enforced during the resurfacing of the #metoo campaign last October. “Somebody” is a call for solidarity and for changes in the fabric of our society."
