I'm All I've Got

(album: Liza! Liza! - 1964)

I'm all I've got
No matter what you cannot rearrange me
Into a shy, a demure and a strange me
You'll never change me to what I'm not
I'm all I've got, and I've got
Quite a lot of whatever I've got

One thing I'm not
I'm not a leaf in the gale that is blowing
Won't take a trail till I know where it's going
The boat I'm rowing, a yacht it's not
Who needs a yacht when I've got
Such a lot of whatever I've got?

I don't admire a million sheep
Who walk around disguised as people
I'd rather jump right off a steeple
Or buy a firing shod, be squat
Or buy a firing squad, be shot
Then rot in a pignall or a slot

I'm all I've got
And when I look in the mirror I love it, mwah!
So let the whole world condemn me, what of it
I rise above it
My simple plan is to be what I am
I am me and that's how you'll take me
You'll find you can't domesticate or break me
I am me and you can never make me what I'm not
I am stuck with whatever I've got
So rise or fall, I'm all I've got
