I Am What I Am

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 I am what I am, I know what I'm not I'm not the type of guy that doesn't know what he's got And I won't back down, won't come around Saying that I changed 'cause that's not how it's going down 'Cause 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 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 'Cause 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 wanna 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! I am what I am
