Song Lyrics

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
'Til you can say

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 'til 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 'til you can shout out
I am what I am
I am what I am
