I am what I am
I can?t help myself
And if you don?t like it
Get with somebody else
I?ll never change my ways
It?s not a phase
This is how it is and this is how it?s gonna stay
Because
(coro)
I am what I am I know what I?m not
I?m not the type of guy
That doesn?t know how good he?s got it
And I won?t back down
Won?t come around
Saying that I changed cause
That?s not how it?s going down
And I know (I know, I know)
Wherever I go (I go, I go)
I know where I stand
I am what I am
Hey! Hey!
I am what I am
Hey! Hey!
I am what I am
What can I say?
I?m gonna be this way
Right up until my dying day
Because that?s how it goes head to my toes
And if it doesn?t show well I just had to let you know
Because
(coro)
I am what I am
And nobody else
And if you?ve got a problem
Better take it somewhere else
Because I can?t turn back
I?m right on track
And if you think you know
Well then you better check your facts
Because
I know (I know, I know)
Wherever I go (I go, I go)
I know where I stand
I am what I am
Hey! Hey!
I am what I am
Hey! Hey!
Oh can?t you see
I?m just being me
I can?t be you
And I don?t want to be
Don?t try to get
Inside my head
Cause what you see is what you get
I am what I am
I can?t help myself
And if you don?t like it
Get with somebody else
I?ll never change my ways
It?s not a phase
This is how it is right up until my dying day
And I know (I know, I know)
Wherever I go (I go, I go)
I know where I stand
I am what I am
Hey! Hey!
I am what I am
Hey! Hey!
I am what I am
Hey! Hey!
I am what I am
Hey! Hey!
