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 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

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

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 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

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 (Hey! Hey!)

I am what I am (Hey! Hey!)

I am what I am
