I am what I am
I don't want praise, I don't want pity
I bang my own drum

Some say 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 shame so 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 aces, sometimes the deuces

There'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 dam 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 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 dam till you can say hey world
I am what I am

I am somebody
I am someone
I am somebody

I am someone
I am somebody
I am someone

I am somebody
I am someone
I am somebody

I am what I am
I am somebody
I am what I am

I am somebody
I am someone
I am somebody

I am someone
I am somebody
I am someone

I am somebody
I am someone
