I Am What I Am lyrics

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 world and it's not
a place I have to
hide in

Life's not worth
a damn till 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 bauble
and each bangle

Why not try to
see things from
a different angle

Your life is a sham
till 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 till 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 till you
can shout out
I am what I am.....
