[02:16.74]I am what I am
[02:17.28]I am my own special creation
[02:18.54]So come take a look
[02:19.05]Give me the hook
[02:19.50]Or the ovation
[02:20.52]It's my world
[02:21.78]That I want to have a little pride
[02:22.53]My world
[02:23.28]And it's not a place I have to hide in
[02:24.09]Life's not worth a dam
[02:24.57]Till you can say
[02:24.93]I am what I am
[02:25.29]I am what I am
[02:25.62]I don't want praise I don't want pity
[02:26.52]I bang my own drum
[02:27.00]Some think it's noise I think it's pretty
[02:27.84]And so what if I love
[02:29.55]Each sparkle and each bangle
[02:30.21]Why not see things from a different angle
[02:31.23]Your life is a shame
[02:31.71]Till you can shout out I am what I am
[02:32.70]I am what I am
[02:33.18]And what I am needs no excuses
[02:33.99]I deal my own deck
[02:34.53]Sometimes the aces sometimes the deuces
[02:35.52]It's one life
[02:35.97]And there's no return and no deposit
[02:36.81]One life so it's time to open up your closet
[02:37.80]Life's not worth a dam till you can shout out
[02:38.67]I am what I am
[02:39.24]I am what I am
[02:39.57]I am what I am
[02:39.90]Needs no excuses
[02:40.44]I deal my own deck sometimes
[02:41.19]The aces sometimes the deuces
[02:42.06]It's one life
[02:42.51]And there's no return and no deposit
[02:44.13]One life so it's time to open up your closet
[02:45.27]Life's not worth a dam till you can shout out
[02:46.14]I am what I am
