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
