We all want to feel like we're somebody, but this song really expresses it perfectly.
Final silly point: I love the pauses in the studio version of the song. Such a perfect way to emphasize what she's singing. I hope they are intentional, and not just a placeholder so she can fill in other words during concerts.
I have several versions of this song, all of them wonderful to listen to, in my opinion.

"Somebody"
I swear there's something different
In this cigarette
Helpin' us get lifted
Helpin' us forget
I swear there's something extra
Runnin' in our blood
We're in a hatchback party with the music turned up
Got my head out the window throwing two fingers up
Like I'm somebody
As if I'm really somebody
Tonight I am a big fucking deal
Tonight I just know how it might feel
To be somebody
Like I'm really somebody
Tonight I am a big fucking deal
Tonight I just know how it might feel
Runnin' from the city
Up the motorway
You know you can't have me
But you kiss me anyway
They can come and get us
This time we won't run
And I say a little prayer that the morning never comes
And I'm screaming over here from the top of my lungs
I am somebody
As if I'm really somebody
Tonight I am a big fucking deal
Tonight I know just how it might feel
To be somebody
Like I'm really somebody
Tonight I am a big fucking deal
Tonight I know just how it might feel
To be somebody
As if I'm really somebody
Tonight
Tonight
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
I am somebody
I'm really, really somebody
I'm tellin' you, I'm somebody
I swear to God, I'm somebody
