I Am What I Am
I am what I amI am my own special creationSo come, take a lookGive me the hook or the ovation
It's my world that I'd want to have a little pride inMy world and it's not a place I have to hide inLife's not worth a damn till you can sayHey world, I am what I am
I am what I amI don't need praise, I don't need pityI bang my own drumSome think it's noise, I think it's pretty
And so what if I love each feather and each spangleWhy not try and see things from a different angleYour life is a sham till you can sayHey world, I am what I am
I am what I amAnd what I am needs no excusesI deal my own deckSometimes the ace, sometimes the deuces
It's my life and there's no return and no depositOne life, so it's time to open up your closetLife's not worth a damn till you can sayHey world, I am what I am
