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,
"Hey World, I am what I am."
I am what I am,
I don't want praise, I dont want pity.
I bang my own drum,
Some think it's noise I think its 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
'Till 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 aces, sometimes the deuces.
There'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 say,
"Hey world, I am what I am."
