I Am What I Am(Queer As Folk 12” Mix)

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

And I wanna 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:

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 sparkle and each bangle

Why not see things from a different angle

Your life is a shame, '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

I am what I am
