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, `til 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 feather an each spangle,
Why not try and see things from a diff’rent angel?
Your life is a sham, ‘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 ace, 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, am 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 open up your closet:
Life’s not worth a damn ‘til you can shout out:

„I am what 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, I am useful
I am, I am, I am, I am true
I am, I am somebody
I am as good as you.
Yes I am what I am!


Gloria Gaynor.
