[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse]
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 lotta pride in
My world, it's just not a place I have to hide in
Life is not worth a damn
'Til you can shout, Hey world I am what I am
[Verse 2]
I am what I am
I don't want praise, I don't want pity
Yeah, I bang my own drum
Some think it's noise, I think it's pretty
So what if I do love every sparkle and every bangle
You gotta try and see things from my angle
Woah, oh, listen, your whole lifes one big sham
Unless you come out now and shout, I am what I am
[Chorus 1]
I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck
Sometimes the ace, sometimes the deuces
It's one life and there's no return and no deposit
One life so it's time to come out that closet
No lifes just not worth a damn
'Til you can shout, Hey world I am what I am
[Chorus 2]
So your whole lifes one big sham
Unless you come out now and shout, I am what I am, what I am
What I am need no excuses
I deal my own deck sometimes the ace, the deuces
Its one life and theres no return and no deposit
Oh, one life so its time to come out that closet
No life's just not worth a damn, til you cant shout
Hey world, I am what I am
(Hey world, I am what I am)
[Bridge]
Hey boy, Im telling you this
Oh no, my life needs no excuses!
Its my choice to deal my own deck
Oh yeah, could be an ace, could be the deuces
It's one life and there's no return no deposit
Youve got just one life please open up your closet
Life's not worth a damn if you cant shout out
Woah oh, yeah shout, Hey world, I am what I am
I am, I am what I am
I am, I am what I am
Go dance!
[Instrumental Break]
[Refrain]
It's my world that I want to have a lotta pride in
My world, it's just not a place I have to hide in
Life is not worth a damn
'Til you can shout, hey world, I am what I am
So what if I do love every sparkle and every bangle
You gotta try and see things from my angle
Woah, oh listen your whole lifes one big sham
Unless you come out now and shout
I am what I am, what I am
[Chorus 1]
I am what I am, what I am
And what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck
Sometimes the ace sometimes the deuces
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
It's one life and there's no return no deposit!
Youve got just one life please open up your closet
Life's not worth a damn if you cant shout out
Oh, I am what I am, what I am
I dont give a damn cos
I am world, I am what I am
I am what I am
