[00:08.22]I am what I am
[00:13.77]I am my own special creation
[00:23.10]So come take a look
[00:28.92]Give me the hook or the ovation
[00:36.84]It’s my world
[00:40.86]That I want to have a little pride in
[00:45.06]My world
[00:48.29]And it’s not a place I have to hide in
[00:53.58]Life’s not worth a damn
[00:58.19]Till you can say
[01:01.23]I am what I am
[01:09.69]I am what I am
[01:12.36]I don’t want praise I don’t want pity
[01:16.78]I bang my own drum
[01:19.70]Some think it’s noise I think it’s pretty
[01:24.61]And so what if I love each sparkle and each bangle
[01:29.08]Why not try to see things from a different angle
[01:32.68]Your life is a shame
[01:36.12]Till you can shout out
[01:38.01]I am what I am
[01:43.66]I am what I am
[01:46.81]And what I am needs no excuses
[01:52.59]I deal my own deck
[01:57.25]Sometimes the aces sometimes the deuces
[02:03.49]It’s one life and there’s no return and no deposit
[02:08.86]One life so it’s time to open up your closet
[02:17.79]Life’s not worth a damn till you can shout out
[02:26.01]I am what I am ...
