I am What I am

I am what I am
I can't help myself
And if you don't like, 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 kind of guy
That doesn't knwo how good 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

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 doens't show
Then I'll just have to let you know

Because I am what I am
And nobody else
And if you 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
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 beingme
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, 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

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!

I am what I am
Hey! Hey!
I am what I am
Hey! Hey!
I am what I am
