[00:00.00]I Am What I Am (From La Cage Aux Folles) - George Hearn/Donald Pippin
[00:03.09]I am what I am
[00:12.27]
[00:15.49]I am my own special creation
[00:23.44]
[00:27.84]So come take a look
[00:31.87]
[00:33.76]Give me the hook or the ovation
[00:41.97]
[00:44.66]It's my world that
[00:49.52]I want to have a little pride in
[00:53.89]
[00:54.61]My world and
[00:57.24]It's not a place I have to hide in
[01:01.80]Life's not worth a damn till you can say
[01:09.31]
[01:10.34]"Hey world I am what I am"
[01:17.65]I am what I am
[01:20.97]I don't want praise I don't want pity
[01:26.68]
[01:27.29]I bang my own drum
[01:30.52]Some think It's noise I think It's pretty
[01:35.93]And so what if
[01:38.07]I love each feather and each spangle
[01:41.37]Why not try to
[01:42.82]See things from a different angle
[01:45.68]Your life is a sham
[01:48.94]Till you can shout out loud
[01:52.39]"I am what I am"
[01:57.92]I am what I am
[02:01.85]And what I am needs no excuses
[02:08.43]
[02:08.98]I deal my own deck
[02:12.20]
[02:12.81]Sometimes the ace sometimes the deuces
[02:18.99]It's one life and there's no return and no deposit
[02:25.47]One life so It's time to open up your closet
[02:31.92]Life's not worth a damn till you can say
[02:39.21]"Hey world I am what I am"
