Titel:		I AM WHAT I AM
Interpret:	GLORIA GAYNOR
--------------------------------------------------------------------

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 damn, 'til you can say:
"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 diffrent angel?
Your life is a sham, 'til you can shout out:
"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 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 damn 'til you can shout out:
'? 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 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 damn 'til you can shout out:
"I am what I am!"

I am, I am, I am useful. I am, I am, I am true.
I am. I am somebody. I am a good and new. Yes. I am what I am!
