i am what i am lyrics

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
