I Am What I Am (La Cage Aux Folles) — текст песни (Linda Eder)

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
"Hey world, 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 `til you can shout out loud: "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
There`s one life and it`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 shout hey world "I am what I am!"
