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
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
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!
