I Am What I Am

I am what I am, I can't help myself

And if you don't like it, get with somebody else

I'll never change my ways, it's not a phase

This is how it is and this is how it's gonna stay because

I am what I am, I know what I'm not

I'm not the type of guy that doesn't know how good he's got it

And I won't back down, won't clown around

Saying that I changed 'cause that's not how it's goin' down

'Cause I know wherever I go

I know where I stand, I am what I am

Hey, hey, I am what I am, hey, hey

I am what I am, what can I say?

I'm gonna be this way right up until my dying day

Because that's how it goes, head to my toes

And if it doesn't show well, I just had to let you know because

I am what I am, and nobody else

And if you've got a problem, better take it somewhere else

Because I can't turn back, I'm right on track

And if you think you know well, then you better check your facts 'cause

I know wherever I go

I know where I stand, I am what I am

Hey, hey, I am what I am, hey, hey

Oh, can't you see I'm just bein' me?

I can't be you, and I don't wanna be

Don't try to get inside my head

'Cause what you see is what you get

I am what I am, I can't help myself

And if you don't like it, get with somebody else

I'll never change my ways, it's not a phase

This is how it is and this is right up until my dying day

'Cause I know wherever I go

I know where I stand, I am what I am

Hey, hey, I am what I am, hey, hey

Hey, hey, I am what I am, hey, hey

I am what I am, hey, hey

I am what I am
