Lyrics
I am what I am
I am His own special creation
So come take a look
Give me the hook or the ovation

It's my world that I want to have a little pride in
My world and it's not a place I have to hide in
Life's not worth a damn
Till you can say, 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 think it's noise, I think it's pretty

And so what if I love each sparkle and each bangle
Why not try to see things from a different angle
Your life is a sham
Till you can shout out, I am what I am

I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck
Sometimes the ace, sometimes the deuces

There's one life and there's no return and no deposit
One life so make sure you like what's in your closet
Life's not worth a damn
Till you can shout out, I am what I am
I am what I am

Aw yay, I love this! Jackie! I love how you included so much here, all her different jobs and different relationships and yet how she just kept on going. I have a huuuuge soft spot for Jackie and Roseanne as sisters and friends, so I love that her family in general and Roseanne in particular is the glue for Jackie, still there at the low points. So glad this exists!
