Singalong! What I Am by Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians

The first time I encountered this song was on one of the Lilith Fair compilation albums. Ohhh boy, you better believe I listened to those a LOT! They were my introduction to so many smart lady singers, I should probably send Sarah Mclaughlin a thank you note.

WHAT I AM

by Edie Brickell & the New Bohemians

I'm not aware of too many things

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

I know what I know, if you know what I mean, d-doo yeah

Shove me in the shallow waters

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?

Oh, I'm not aware of too many things

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

I know what I know, if you know what I mean, d-doo yeah

Shove 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 you are, and?

What I am is what I am

Are you what you are or what?

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

Shove me in the shallow water

Before I get too deep

Shove me in the shallow water

Before I get too deep

Shove me in the shallow water

Before I get too deep

Shove me in the shallow water

Before I get too deep
