I Am What I Am

I am what i am i am my own special creation

So come take a look give me the hook or the ovation

It's my world

That i want to have a little pride in my word

And it's not a place i have to hide in

Life's not worth a damn `til you can say:

I am what i am

I am what i am i don't want praise

I don't want pity i bang my own drum

Some think it's noise i think it's pretty

And so what if i love each feather and each spangle

Why not try and see things from a diff'rent angel?

Your life is a sham `til you can shout out:

I am what i am

I am what i am and what i am needs no excuses

I deal my own deck sometimes the ace sometimes the deuces

It's one life and there's no return and no deposit:

One life so it's time to open up your closet

Life's not worth a damn `til you can shout out:

I am what i am

I am what i am am what i am needs no excuses

I deal my own deck sometimes the ace sometimes the deuces

It's one life and there's no return and no deposit:

One life so it's time to open up your closet

Life's not worth a damn `til you can shout out:

I am what i am
