I Am What I Am

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 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 sparkle and each bangle Why not try to see things from a different angle Your life is a sham Till you can shout out I am what I am I am what I am And what I am needs no excuses I deal my own deck Sometimes the aces sometimes the deuces It's one life 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 shout out I am what I am I am what I am I am what I am And what I am needs no excuses I deal my own deck sometimes the aces sometimes the deuces It's one life 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 shout out I am what I am Oh I am Oh I am I am, I am, I am good I am, I am, I am strong I am, I am, I am worthy I am, I am, I belong I am I am Ooh ooh ooh ooh I am I am, I am, I am useful I am, I am, I am true I am, I am somebody I am as good as you, ah ha Ah ha, ooh ooh ooh ooh yes I am Ah ah ah ah Doo doo doo doo I am I am, I am, I am
