[00:00.00] I am what I am
[00:03.06]I am my own special creation
[00:07.53]So come take a look
[00:10.32]Give me the hook or the ovation
[00:14.58]It’s my world
[00:18.12]That I want to have a little pride in
[00:23.07]My world
[00:25.35]And it’s not a place I have to hide in
[00:29.49]Life’s not worth a damn
[00:32.34]Till you can say
[00:34.74]I am what I am
[00:52.11]I am what I am
[00:54.15]I don’t want praise I don’t want pity
[00:58.89]I bang my own drum
[01:01.41]Some think it’s noise I think it’s pretty
[01:05.82]And so what if I love each sparkle and each bangle
[01:10.38]Why not try to see things from a different angle
[01:14.07]Your life is a shame
[01:16.23]Till you can shout out
[01:18.63]I am what I am
[01:20.88]I am what I am
[01:30.81]And what I am needs no excuses
[01:35.58]I deal my own deck
[01:38.04]Sometimes the aces sometimes the deuces
[01:42.48]It’s one life and there’s no return and no deposit
[01:47.04]One life so it’s time to open up your closet
[01:50.67]Life’s not worth a damn till you can shout out
