Karaoké I Am What I Am La Cage aux Folles (comédie musicale) (George Hearn)

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 damn 'till you can say

Hey world

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 to see things from a different angle

Your life is a sham 'till you can shout out loud

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 'till you can say

Hey world

I am what I am
