What I Am

Written by Edie Brickell, Kenneth Withrow, John Houser, John Bush and Brandon Aly
Performed by Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians

I'm not aware of too many things,
But I know what I know if you know what I mean.
Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box.
Religion is the smile on a dog.

I'm not aware of too many things,
But I know what I know if you know what I mean.
Choke me in the shallow water before I get too deep.

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?

I'm not aware of too many things,
But I know what I know if you know what I mean.
Philosophy is a walk on the slippery rocks.
Religion is a light in the fog.

I'm not aware of too many things,
But I know what I know if you know what I mean.
Choke me in the shallow water before I get too deep.

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?
What I am is what I am.
Are you what you are - or what?

Don't let me get too deep.
