Lyrics

I keep on staring at the clock on the wall
I look in the mirror - it don't matter at all
I don't know why I'm feeling this way again
And again and again, you know I wonder when
When your heart will take you over it don't matter at all
When you feel it take you over - Oh no
I am what I am

You tell me things that I don't understand
I try to follow try to follow but I am what I am
I'm a lost and lonely person
I don't know what to do
But I am what I am
I'm telling you

You try to ask me try to see where I stand
Oh no don't you try to shake me 'cause I am what I am
I don't always understand what's good and what's bad
But no don't you try to shake me
I am what I am


Everywhere I go
People look at me strange
They don't understand me - I don't care
I turn the page
They just are what they are
And I am what I am
I'm content to tell you all
Take you by the hand

You try to ask me try to see where I stand
Oh no don't you try to shake me 'cause I am what I am
I don't always understand what's good and what's bad
But no don't you try to shake me
I am what I am
I am what I am
I am what I am
I am what I am

I really like this one. Great vocals and the recording is done really well, sounds professional. The music is great, I really like the keyboards and the drums (great arrangement). I also love the backing vocals as well. Great Pop Song!!!

Nicely done. Touches of Lenny Kravitz in there (in a good way!). I like the fact that the mix is dry and in your face where it needs to be with reverb only on a few things for accents.

Very interesting and driving piece with really good lyrical and musical content.

Great opening drum beat sets this song up nicely. What a catchy hook. You just can't forget it "I am what I am". The cool thing is that even though it's repeated umpteen times, it doesn't get boring. This is due to an extremely dynamic crystal clear compelling vocal paired with an impeccable mix. My headphones were cheering. This song has a point to make...and makes it period. It's a great statement and a great song. Love the instrumentation/production. There are some creative touches/sounds in there that make this track really fun to listen to. Great job!

Very nice song and great presentation

Lyrically vulnerable and arresting, it is a personal song of psychological introspection that is universal and easy to identify with. Musically catchy, hooky, and appealing, borrowing electronica tricks from the 80s, Phil Collins-esque if there's such a word, yet this song is current as anything! I love the high pitched keyboard notes that punctuate the measures. The melody is somewhat haunting and loaded with feeling. Addictive and great!

Very unique with those outstanding harmonies. Also very attractive original rhythms created by lyrics.This thing could really catch on.

Has a bit of that 80's pop vibe. I really liked the arrangement, vocals have a bit of a Robert Palmer vibe.
