I Am What I Am (Album Version)

I Am What I Am (Album Version) - Linda Eder

Written by：Jewel Kilcher

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 d**n '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 sparkle and each bangle

Why not try to see things from

A different angle

Your life is a sham 'til you can shout out loud

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

There's one life and it's no return

And no deposit

One life so it's time to open up your closet

Life's not worth a d**n 'til you can shout

Hey world

I am what I am
