Somebody Up There Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You know what they say
That everything in your life brings you to where you are today
I know what they mean
'Cause even with all the bad, I wouldn't change a thing
'Cause it led me to you
And if one thing was different, I know you'd be missing
So there's no regrets
I can only thank God for the day that we met

[Chorus]
Somebody up there must love me
'Cause he gave me you and that's why
Somebody up there must love me
Yes, I know in my heart that I'll try
To give you love, to give you everything you need
You don't even know how much you've given to me, so
Somebody up there must love me
'Cause he gave me you

[Verse 2]
Now I would be lying if I said that love wasn't trying
It hasn't always been a piece of cake
We had mistakes to make, ups and downs but we always came around
And we're still here (We ain't goin' nowhere)
We stuck together longer, that's what made us stronger
So there's no regrets
And I can only thank God for the day that we met, oh
[Chorus]
Somebody up there must love me
'Cause he gave me you and that's why
Somebody up there must love me (Yeah)
Yes, I know in my heart that I'll try
To give you love, to give you everything you need
You don't even know how much you've given to me, so
Somebody up there must love me
'Cause he gave me, he gave me you

[Bridge]
Oh, no one else can do for me the things that you do for me
Said you're the only one for me, yeah, yeah
I love the way you're lovin' me
You are, oh baby, not yet
And it feels so good, babe
To know that you love me

[Chorus]
Somebody up there must love me (Woo!)
'Cause he gave me you and that's why
Somebody up there must love me (Yeah)
Yes, I know in my heart that I'll try
To give you love, to give you everything you need
'Cause you don't even know how much you've given to me, so
Somebody up there must love me (Someone, yeah)
'Cause he gave me you
[Chorus]
Somebody up there must love me (Somebody must)
'Cause he gave me you and that's why
Somebody up there must love me (Gotta love me)
'Cause I know in my heart that I'll try
To give you love, to give you everything you need
And you don't even know how much you've given to me, so
Somebody up there must love me (Yeah, yeah)
'Cause he gave me you

[Outro]
(Somebody up there must love me)
'Cause he gave me you
'Cause he gave me you

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 [?]
