And nobody's gonna hold me down
No nobody, nobody, nobody's gonna hold me down
I'm somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody
Please move, move
Move right out of my life
Move it, move it
Love, love me baby
Love, love me child
'Cause baby, baby, baby
You're drivin' me wild
Heavy, heavy
You got so heavy, baby
(Yeah, yeah)
Heavy, heavy
I'm somebody, somebody
And nobody's gonna hold me down
No nobody, nobody, nobody's gonna hold me down
I'm somebody!
