Текст песни I Am What I Am - Gloria Gaynor

I am what I am
I am this 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
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
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 make sure you like what's in your closet
Life's not worth a damn 'til 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
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 ace, sometimes the deuces
It's my life and I want to have a little pride and
My life, and it's not a place I have to hide in
Life's not worth a damn 'til you can shout out
I am what 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
I am what I am
I am what I am
I am, I am, I am good
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
