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
