Somebody Was Watching - Pops Staples

I been

Shot up

And shipped down

I've been turned away and turned around

Nobody to call my own

In this mean old world alone

Many many nights I cried

Somebody was all the time

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

Somebody was watching

I've been locked up and locked down

I've been used and abused

Didn't know if I was uptown or downtown

You know my life was so confused

Living 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

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

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

Living in a one room shack

All I had was the clothes on my back

Each day my only thing

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

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

Somebody was watching over me
