I Am What I Am - Live - Gloria Gaynor

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

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

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
