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 'til you can say
|
"Hey world, 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 sparkle and each bangle?
|
Why not try to see things from a different angle?
|
Your life is a sham 'til you can shout out loud: "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
|
There's one life and it'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 shout hey world "I am what I am!"
|
