[00:00.000]I am what I am
[00:03.841]I am my own special creation
[00:08.007]So come take a look
[00:11.165]Give me the hook or the ovation
[00:15.381]It's my world that I want to have a little pride in
[00:24.343]My world and it's not a place I have to hide in
[00:31.065]Life's not worth a damn
[00:33.934]'Til you can say I am what I am
[00:40.434]
[00:53.793]I am what I am
[00:56.915]I don't want praise, I don't want pity
[01:01.623]I bang my own drum
[01:04.258]Some think it's noise, I think it's pretty
[01:08.671]And so what if I love each sparkle and each bangle
[01:13.350]Why not try to see things from a different angle
[01:17.017]Your life is a sham
[01:19.631]'Til you can shout out, I am what I am
[01:27.745]
[01:32.193]I am what I am
[01:34.803]And what I am needs no excuses
[01:39.516]I deal my own deck
[01:42.361]Sometimes the ace, sometimes the deuces
[01:46.786]It's one life and there's no return and no deposit
[01:51.465]One life. So it's time to open up your closet
[01:55.364]Life's not worth a damn
[01:57.711]'Til you can shout out, I am what I am
[02:07.857]I am what I am
[02:13.812]
[02:26.585]I am what I am
[02:56.856]
[03:18.645]I am what I am
[03:21.235]And what I am needs no excuses
[03:26.488]I deal my own deck
[03:29.147]Sometimes the ace, sometimes the deuces
[03:33.563]It's my life that  I want to have a little pride in
[03:38.025]My life and it's not a place I have to hide in
[03:42.197]Life's not worth a damn
[03:44.531]'Til you can shout out, I am what I am
