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)
