I am what I am I am my own special cre ation.
So, come take a look, give me the hook or the o vation.
It's my w orld that I w ant to have a l ittle 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 I am wh at I

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 wh at if I love each sparkle and each bangle
Why not try to see things from a different angle
Your life is a shame till you can shout out I am wh at I

Am
I am what I am and what I am needs no ex cuses
I deal my own deck sometimes the ace sometimes the deuces
It's one li fe 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 s hout out I am wh at I
