Gloria Gaynor - How High the Moon

Album:

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 word,
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 diff?rent 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:
?I am what I am"

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