Song lyrics I am what I am by Gloria Gaynor

It takes a lifetime to become the best
that we can be
We have not the time or the right
to judge each other
It's one life and there's no return
and no deposit
One life
So make sure you like what's in your closet

Hmm hm, ooh ooh yeah
Hmm hm ooh ooh yeah, yeah ooh ooh
I am what I am
I don't want praise
I don't want pity

I bang my own drums
some thinks 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 sham till you can shout out
I am what I am
(I am what I am)

Ooh ooh hmm hm
Ooh ooh ooh ooh yeah
Hm hm hey hey
Ooh uh 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 my life that I want to have a little pride in
My life and is not a place I have to hide in
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
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am I am what I am
I am what I am
