I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean
[Verse 1]
Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box
Religion is the smile on a dog
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know if you know what I mean
Do ya?
Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep
[Chorus]
What I am is what I am
Are you what you are, or what?
What I am is what I am
Are you what you are, or... or...
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean
[Verse 2]
Philosophy is a walk on the slippery rocks
Religion is a light in the fog
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean
Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep
Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep
[Chorus]
What I am is what I am
Are you what you are, or what?
What I am is what I am
Are you what you are, or what?
What I am is what I am
Are you what you are, or what you are?
And what I am is what I am
Are you what you are, or what?
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep
Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep
[Chorus]
What I am is what I am
Are you what you are, or what?
What I am is what I am
Are you what you are, or what?
What I am is what I am
Are you what you are, or what you are?
And what I am is what I am
Are you what you are, or...
[Outro]
Don't let me get too deep
Don't let me get too deep
Don't let me get too deep
Don't let me get too deep
Don't let me get too deep
Don't let me get too deep
Don't let me get too deep
Don't let me get too deep
Don't let me get too deep
What I am is what I am
(know what I mean?)
What I am is what I am
(know what I mean?)
What I am is what I am
