What I Am Lyrics

I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean

I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean

Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box
Religion is the smile on a dog
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean, do doo yeah

Shove me in the shallow waters
Before I get too deep

What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?
What I am is what I am
Are you what you are, or?

Oh, I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean

Philosophy is a walk on the slippery rocks
Religion is a light in the fog
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean, do doo yeah

Shove me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep

Shove me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep

What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?
What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?

What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what you are is?
What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what

Ha la la ha
I say, I say, I say, I do
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Shove me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep
Shove me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep

Shove me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep
Shove me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep

Shove me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep
Don't let me get too deep
Don't let me get too deep
Don't let me get too deep
Don't let me get too deep

What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?
What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?
What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what you are is?
What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?

Cover art for What I Am lyrics by Edie Brickell

SO this is a very interesting song she is appreciating the simple things in life and how simple things are the most profound in some ways so something like Religion is the smile on a dog will mean that for her something like the smile on a Dog is like a religious experience in that it touches her deeply makes her feel happy sometimes the simple things are the hardest and often times we over think Edie so beautifully captures her simple free spirit and says she doesn't wanna over think ,philosophy is the talk on a cereal box , such things like you're dog having a bowl of cereal walking outside on a wet slippery day give meaning and beauty to a life that is so deep .
