I am what I am
I am God's 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 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 my life
That I want to have a little pride in
My life
And it's not a place I have to hide in
Your life is a sham
Till you can shout out: I am what I am
I am what I am
I am what I am
I am what I am
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 my life
That I want to have a little pride in
My life
And it's not a place I have to hide in
Your life is a sham
Till you can shout out: I am what I am
I am I am I am useful
I am I am I am strong
I am I am I am worthy
And I do belong
I am what I am
I am what I am
I am I am I am good
I am I am I am true
I am I am somebody
I am as good as you
I am what I am
I am what I am
