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
