Gloria Gaynor: I Am What I Am Meaning
Song Released: 1983
I Am What I Am Lyrics
-
I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck
sometimes the ace, sometimes the deuces. -
As someone who reached adulthood at the same time that song was released - I was dealing with realizing I was gay back when it was absolutely NOT OK, this song saved my life...
It was there for me when the adults and straight friends in my world couldn't be.

Cause God makes no mistakes
-
Cause God makes no mistakes don't hide yourself in regret
-
This song is about living life to the full
lest.just like sinatra's my way,although
Presumed to be a gay anthem it really
Is a motivation song telling everyone
To live their own lives.
