I Am What I Am
(Herman)
You Make Me Feel Mighty Real
(James / Wirrick)
Don't Leave Me This Way
(Gamble / Huff / Gilbert)
I am what I am
I am my own special creation
So come take a look
give me the hook or the ovation
It's my world, I want to have a little pride in
my world, it's not a place I have to hide in
Life's not worth a damn
'til you can say I am what I am
I am what I am
I am what I am
I don't want praise, I don't want pity
I bang my own drum
some say it's loud, I think it's pretty
And so what if I love each feather and each spangle
Why not try to see things from a different angle
Your life is a sham
'til you can shout out I am what I am
I am what I am
When we're out there dancing on the floor, darling
and I feel like I need some more, and I
feel your body close to mine, and I
know my love, it's about that time
Makes me feel mighty real
Make me feel mighty real
You make me feel mighty real
You make me feel mighty real
Don't leave me this way
I can't survive, I can't stay alive
without your love
Don't leave me this way
I can't exist, I will surely miss
your tender kiss
so don't leave me this way
Baby, my heart is full of love and desire for you
so come on down and do what you've got to do
You started a fire down in my soul
now can't you see it's burning, out of control
So come on down and satisfy the need in me
'cause only your good loving can set me free
Set me free (7)
Don't leave me this way (7)
