|
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 |
|
Till 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 sparkle and each bangle |
|
Why not try to see things from a different angle |
|
Your life is a sham |
|
Till 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 till you can shout out |
|
I am what I am |
|
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 till you can shout out |
|
I am what I am |
|
Oh I am |
|
Oh 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 |
|
Ooh ooh ooh ooh I am |
|
I am, I am, I am useful |
|
I am, I am, I am true |
|
I am, I am somebody |
|
I am as good as you, ah ha |
|
Ah ha, ooh ooh ooh ooh yes I am |
|
Ah ah ah ah |
|
Doo doo doo doo I am |
|
I am, I am, I am |
|

I Am What I Am (Remix) - Gloria Gaynor 3: 16 |
|
Written by Jerry Herman |

Album: Dance Disco vol 1 MCPS |
|
It takes a lifetime to become the best |
|
that we can be |
|
We have not the time or the right |
|
to judge each other |
|
It's one life and there's no return |
|
and no deposit |
|
One life |
|
So make sure you like what's in your closet |
|
Hmm hm, ooh ooh yeah |
|
Hmm hm ooh ooh yeah, yeah ooh ooh |
|
I am what I am |
|
I don't want praise |
|
I don't want pity |
|
I bang my own drums |
|
some thinks it's noise |
|
I think it's pretty |
|
And so what if I love each sparkle and each bangle |
|
Why not try to see things from a different angle |
|
Your life is a sham till you can shout out |
|
I am what I am |
|
[I am what I am] |
|
Ooh ooh hmm hm |
|
Ooh ooh ooh ooh yeah |
|
Hm hm hey hey |
|
Ooh uh 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 my life that I want to have a little pride in |
|
My life and is not a place I have to hide in |
|
Life's not worth a damn till you can shout out? |
|
I am what I am |
|
I am what I am |
|
I am what I am |
|
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am I am what I am |
|
I am what I am |
