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 shout out
I am what I am
Listen up this is me talking to you
You gotta stick to your ego
Be what you are hang on to yourself
And every day you look into the mirror
And say to yourself
I am what I am
I am what I am
I don't want praise I don't want pity
And I bang my own drum
Some think it's noise but I think it's pretty
And so what if I love each part in any bangle
Why not try to see things from a different angle
Your life is a shame till you can shout out
I am what I am
Tonight
I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses
And I deal my own deck
Sometimes the ace
Sometimes the deuces
It's my life
And there's no return and no deposit one life
So it's time to open up your eyes
And life's not worth a damn till you can shout out
I am what I am
I am what I am
Here we go ok people here we go
One two three go
La la la la la la la
La la la la la bang bang
La la la la la la la la la
Ba da da bang bang
I am what I am and what I am needs no excuses
And I deal my own deck
Sometimes the ace sometimes seduces it's my life
And there's no return and no deposit one life
So it's time to open up your eyes
And life's not worth a damn till you can shout out
I am what I am
I am bang bang
La da da da la da da da bang da da da bang bang
Come on come on
Oh yeah
Bang bang come on come on
I am what I am that's right
You are what you are
