作曲：Stephen Bruton/John Fleming

I've been obnoxious I've been unconscious

I've been all kind of things that are hard to spell

I've been unruly speaking truly

I've been so cool I couldn't hardly even stand myself

I've been a monster without a sponsor

I've been Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

I've been a goner I've been a loner

And when my mixture was right

I'm a nice bunch of guys

I am what I am cause I ain't

What I used to be

Because it is what it is but it ain't

What it used to be

I've been a mover I was a shaker

He had a girlfriend I tried to snake her

I been mysterious I been delirious

I been so weird it would killed a normal man

I wanted money I wanted power

I want a monument kinda like the Eiffel Tower

I been lost at sea I been lost in space

And when I fall in love I fall all over the place

I am what I am cause I ain't

What I used to be

Cause it is what it is

But it ain't what it used to be

Well tell them about it

And you can go on forever

And make the same mistakes

Or you can stand up on your hind legs

And change your fate

Go on and do it till you finally see

What it is that it was

That you don't want to be

Walking tall hoo

I was an outlaw I was an in-law

I was a scapegoat that was the last straw

I hit the highway singing my way

But it wound up sounding like

You'll never walk alone

I got a story reflected glory

Is the way that I been seeing for most of my life

I heard the laughter up in the rafters

But I never ever thought that the joke was on me

I am what I am cause I ain't what I used to be

Well maybe just a little

Cause it is what it is but it ain't

What it used to be

Yeah I am what I am cause I ain't

What I used to be

Cause it is what it is but it ain't

What it used to be
