I Am Who I Am Lyrics - Bombs Over Puerto Rico - Jim Croce

Perhaps, I'll never show this world all I could be 

I just can't sing to any man the song he wants to hear 

And I know that some won't like me 

Others try to be my friend 

But I'm all of me and that's all that I am 

And if life is for the living 

Then why can't men be real 

'Stead of hidin' in their costumes? 

Forgettin' how to feel 

Forgettin' how to feel

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

We still live in a time when manners cover what is real 

There's a basic fact of life that the times cannot conceal 

That if some are masqueraders 

Others live in their facade 

But I'm what I am, I cannot be what I am not 

And if life is for the living 

Then why can't men be real 

'Stead of hidin' in their costumes? 

Forgettin' how to feel 

Forgettin' how to feel 

I may be too honest and offend those who pretend 

I don't claim I'm always right, that I'm everybody's friend 

Perhaps for them it's easier to be what they are not 

But I'm what I am 

And I just can't play that part 

And if life is for the living 

Then why can't men be real 

'Stead of hidin' in their costumes? 

Forgettin' how to feel 

Forgettin' how to feel
