I Am What I Am (From 'La Cage Aux Folles')

i am what i am
i am my own special creation
so come take a look
give me the hook or the ovation
its my world that i want
to have a little pride in
my world and it's not
a place i have to hide in
life's not worth a dame
till you can say
hey world
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 feather
and each bangle
why not try to
see things from a different angle
your life is a sham
till you shout outloud
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
there's one life
snd there's no return
and no deposite
one life so it's time to open up your closet
life's not worth a damn
till you can say
hey world
i am what i am!
