La Cage aux Folles movie - I AM WHAT I AM lyrics

rate me

<br>

I am what I am<br>

I am my own special creation.<br>

So come take a look,<br>

Give me the hook or the ovation.<br>

It's my world that I want to take a little pride in,<br>

My world, and it's not a place I have to hide in.<br>

Life's not worth a damn,<br>

'Til you can say, "Hey world, I am what I am."<br>

I am what I am,<br>

I don't want praise, I don't want pity.<br>

I bang my own drum,<br>

Some think it's noise, I think it's pretty.<br>

And so what, if I love each feather and each spangle,<br>

Why not try to see things from a diff'rent angle?<br>

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

I am what I am!<br>

I am what I am<br>

And what I am needs no excuses.<br>

I deal my own deck<br>

Sometimes the ace, sometimes the deuces.<br>

There's one life, and there's no return and no deposit;<br>

One life, so it's time to open up your closet.<br>

Life's not worth a damn 'til you can say,<br>

"Hey world, I am what I am!"<br>
