Some choose to remember
  Some choose to forget
  Some fall to pieces
  When they lose their heads
    I choose to get lucky
  Don't choose to regret
  I'll take my chances
  Only I know best
    When it all gets down to me
  When it all gets down to me
    ('Cause) I Am, What I Am
  And no one's gonna tell me where or when
  'Cause I Am What I Am
  And no one's gonna break me down again
    I hate to be lonely
  I can't pretend
  Don't need no phonies
  Tryin' to be my friends
    Don't care 'bout danger
  I can take the fall
  Ev'ryone's a stranger
  Till just one stands tall
    And it all comes down to me
  When it all comes down to me
    ('Cause) I Am, What I Am
  And nobody's gonna tell me where or when
  'Cause I Am, What I Am
  Nothin's gonna break me down again
    I can hear the devil callin', callin'
  I can hear him callin' me
  But I don't do nothin'
  I don't believe
    When it all comes down to me
  When it all gets down to me
    ('Cause) I Am, What I Am
  And no one's gonna tell me where or when
  'Cause I Am, What I Am
  And nothin's gonna break me down again
  No, nothin's gonna break me down - again
