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 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 feather and each spangle.
Why not, try and see things from a different angle.
Your life is a sham, 'till you can shout outloud:
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 duces.
There's one life where there's no return and no deposit.
One life, so it's time to order up your closes.
Life's not worth a damn, 'till you can say:
hey world, I am what I am
