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
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, cause
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
Oh, can't you see I'm just being me?
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 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
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 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
(I know, I know)
Wherever I go

This song's about being yourself and not letting abyone change that.

ditto on what MANDYxLOVESxJB said.
I learned this entire song when it came out and I still know it word for word. It really comes in handy when you wanna break out singing.
this song has really catchy lyrics, and one of the things that i like about it is that you can tell that their voices weren't filtered/altered at all in the studio for this song...you can hear every little noise they make :)
basically this song is easy to figure out stay true to who you are they sing about how no one can change them and they'll always be the same no matter what and if you don't like who they are, they dont' care
this is similar to Demi Lovato's song "La La Land Machine"
thisss iss super catchyy (:
