lyrics

‘I’m Somebody Too’

by Dean Friedman


I have a brother, he’s older than me.
And he looks like a chimpanzee.
He’s not very nice to me.
He tells me what to do.
Well, he was going to the candy store.
And as he opened up the door,
I said, “Can I go too?”.
And he said, “What for?”.
And then right out of the blue,
I said,

I’m Somebody Too. I’m Somebody Too.
I’m O.K. And I’m worthwhile.
I’m just as good as you.
I’m Somebody Too.

Well, it was early on a Saturday.
We went outside to play.
Everything was A.O.K.
Until I lost my shoe.
We were sitting on the backyard swing and
We started arguing.
He said, “You don’t know anything.”
And I said, “That isn’t true.”
I said,

I’m Somebody Too. I’m Somebody Too.
I’m O.K. And I’m worthwhile.
I’m just as good as you.
I’m Somebody Too.

Well, we were hungry and it was late.
So we went inside, but before we ate,
I found my shoe on my plate.
Someone put it there. Guess who?
My brother spoke as we ate dessert,
“I hope your feelings weren’t hurt,
you’re really not such a squirt.”
I said, “neither are you…”

I’m Somebody Too. I’m Somebody Too.
I’m O.K. And I’m worthwhile.
I’m just as good as you.
I’m Somebody Too

Since then, hits like Lucky Stars, Lydia, Rocking Chair, McDonald’s Girl and Woman of Mine have earned him a loyal international following, devoted to his work as a master songsmith and performer. ... more
