Lyrics

I been look in’ for some (G)don one

be tween the fire and the flame.

We’re all look in’ for some thin’

to ease it ev the (Am)pain.

When Now who can you turn (G)don to

be when it’s all black and white

and the win ners are los ers?

You see worth fight ’ry (Am)night.

I (Am)need some bod y,

some bod y like (G)you.

Ev ’ry bod y (Am)needs some bod y.

I (Am)need some bod y.

(D)Hey, what a bout (G)you?

Ev ’ry bod y (Am)needs some bod y.

(G)you?

We all (Am)need some bod y.

A noth er night, a noth er les son learned;

it’s the dis tance that keeps us sane.

But when the si lence leads to sor row,

we do it all a gain, all

a gain.

I (Am)need some bod y,

some bod y like (G)you.

Ev ’ry bod y (Am)needs some bod y.

I (Am)need some bod y.

(D)Hey, what a bout (G)you?

Ev ’ry bod y (Am)needs some bod y.

I (Am)need some bod y, some bod y like (G)you.

Ev ’ry bod y (Am)needs some bod y.

I (Am)need some bod y.

(D)Hey, what a bout (G)you?

We all (Am)need some bod y.

I (Am)need some bod y, some bod y like (G)you.

Ev ’ry bod y (Am)needs some bod y.

I (Am)need some bod y.

(D)Hey, what a bout (G)you?

We all (Am)need some bod y.

Somebody by Bryan Adams — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Somebody” by Bryan Adams in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of C at 100 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

Tips for parents & teachers

  • Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
  • Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
  • Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
  • Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.
