Somebody Up There Likes Me Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can't get used to the hustle
I try to keep my actions straight
I get caught in the bustle
I do things I really hate

Just when I think I'm sinking
I hear a voice inside my head
Says don't do what you're thinking
Send your thoughts to me instead

[Chorus]
Somebody up there likes me
Somebody up there knows what I need
When my worldly head spins around
He sends his love down

[Verse 2]
You know I'm only human
That's all I always say
It's just excuses
So I can do things my own way

But when I fall and stumble
I know I will be saved
No, my world won't crumble
I'll make it through the hardest days
[Chorus]

[Bridge]
I wish I'd have known all along
But it's much better late
Than to never know you're wrong

[Chorus][x2]

[Outro]
He sends his love down
Somebody up there likes me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
