I Am Who I Am Lyrics

(laughter)
Nuttiness.

...Oh you think you're gonna do something different than what
I'm doing right now.
...just having a nice pleasant conversation with your friends.
...whatever you do this is a wonderful phrase by Gandhi.

...God!
I am who I am, and what I am, and I will be what I will be. Ok?
Present tense: I am who I am. Not was to be, but I am.
Can you imagine that? I am who I am.
I am who I am.
I will be who I am and what I am.
I will be who I am and what I am.
In other words, I'm going to do it. I am who I am.
I am what I am.
I will be who I am. What I am I will be.
Not going to be. Not was.
I am who I am! I am what I am! And I will be what I will be!
You are who you are and who you are. Who you are!
Who does he think he is?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
