I Am What I Am

Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmh

Mmm-mmh

I am what I am

I don't want praise

And I don't want pity

I bang my own drum

Some think it's noise

But I think it's pretty

And so what

If I love its sparkle and its bangle?

Why not

Try and see things from a different angle?

Your, your life is a sham

Until you can shout

"I am what I

What I am"

Mmm-mmh

Ooh-ooh

I am what I am

And what I am

Needs no excuses

And I know it's been hard

Collide at my share

Of battles and bruises

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 is not worth a damn

Until you can shout

"I am what I

What I am"

Ooh-ooh

Mmm-mmh, mmm

(I am what I am)

(I don't want praise)

(I don't want)
