Lyrics I Am What I Am - Royal Philharmonic Orchestra

I am what I am
I am my own special creation
So come take a look
Give me the 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 feather and each spangle
Why not try yo see things from a different angle
Your life is a sham
′Til 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 ace, 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 say
Hey World! I am what I am.
