I Am What I Am Songtext
von Shirley Bassey

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
Your life is a sham ′till 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 and see things from a different angle
Your life is a sham 'till you can say
"Hey, world, 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 there's no return and no deposit
One life, so it′s time to open up your closet
Your life is a sham 'till you can say
"Hey, world, I am what I am"
