Lyrics What I Am - Edie Brickell & New Bohemians

What I Am

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.
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.
What I am is what I am,
You’re what you are — or what?
What I am is what I am,
You’re what you — or what?
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 the light in a fog.
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.
Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep.
What I am is what I am,
You’re what you are — or what?
What I am is what I am,
You’re what you are — or what?
What I am is what I am,
You’re what you are — or what you are.
What I am is what I am,
You’re what you are — or what?
Na na na na.
I say, I say, I say.
Do do, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep.
What I am is what I am,
You’re what you are — or what?
What I am is what I am,
You’re what you are — or what?
What I am is what I am,
You’re what you are — or what you are.
What I am is what I am,
You’re what you are — or what?
What I am is what I am,
You’re what you are — or what?
What I am is what I am,
You’re what you are — or what you are
