Gloria Gaynor – I Am What I Am (2014 Club Version) Lyrics

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 dam till I 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 sparkle and each bangle
Why not see things from a different angle
Your life is a shame
Till 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 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 damn till you can shout out
I am what I am

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 shout out
I am what I am

I am, I am, I am good
I am, I am, I am strong
I am, I am, I am worthy
I am, I am, I belong

I am, I am
Whoo, whoo, whoo
I am

I am, I am, I am useful
I am, I am, I am true
I am, I am, somebody
I am as good as you

Yes, I am
