Somebody Was Watching

I been shot up and shipped down

I've been turned away and turned around

With nobody to call my own

In this mean old world alone

Many, many nights I cried

Somebody was on my side

Down in my soul I knew

Some way I'd get through

Looking back now I see

Somebody was watching over me

(Somebody was watching) Yeah

(Somebody was watching)

I've been locked up and locked out

I've been used and abused

Didn't know if I, was uptown or downtown

You know my life was so confused

I lived in a state of depression

Something saved me from my obsession

My strength was put to test

My weakness put to rest

Looking back now I see

Somebody was watching over me

(Somebody was watching) Yeah

(Somebody was watching)

Somebody was watching

Somebody was watching over me

(Somebody was watching)

(Somebody was watching)

Somebody was watching

Somebody was watching over me

(Somebody was watching)

(Somebody was watching)

Now my bad time is better

Than my good time used to be

(Somebody was watching) Yeah

(Somebody was watching)

(Somebody was watching)

(Somebody was watching)

There was a time when

Peace I could not find

Nothing to call my own

No job, no car, no home

Slaving in a one room shack

All I had were the clothes on my back

Each day my only plan

Have a bottle in my hand

Looking back now I see

Somebody was watching over me

(Somebody was watching)

(Somebody was watching)

Somebody was watching

Somebody was watching over me

(Somebody was watching)

(Somebody was watching)

Somebody was watching

Somebody was watching over me

(Somebody was watching) Oh, yes, He was

(Somebody was watching)

Now my bad time is better

Than my good time used to be

(Somebody was watching)

(Somebody was watching over me)

(Somebody was watching)

(Somebody was watching)

Now my bad time is better

Than my good time used to be

(Somebody was watching) Yeah

(Somebody was watching over me)
