Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You were a cute girl standing backstage
It was bound to happen
You had a smile across your face
It was bound to happen
[Verse 2]
And what you wore and how you bore
It's oh well, what'd you expect would happen?
You were a cute girl standing backstage
It was bound to happen
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
I am not my body, I'm somebody
I am not my body, I'm somebody
[Verse 5]
You were a cute girl standing backstage
It was bound to happen
You had a smile across your face
It was bound to happen
[Verse 6]
And what you wore and how you bore
It's oh well, what'd you expect would happen?
You were a cute girl standing backstage
It was bound to happen
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
I am not my body, I'm somebody
I am not my body, I'm somebody
[Verse 9]
I'm not my body, I'm somebody
I am not my body, I'm somebody
[Verse 10]
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
[Verse 11]
I am not my body, I'm somebody
I am not my body, I'm somebody
