I am the guitar
I
I am a wooden box with a hole, I was born in Europe. I have 6 strings that produce musical notes. I am a
musical instrument to play tangos, rancheras, rock, blues, metal and other musical genres. I am romantic,
lively, enthusiastic and placid.
I have a many cousins; one of them is the electric guitar. My cousin has some microphones that become the
vibrations in electric signals to increase the sounds. She and I are more powerful together and we are very
friendly.

Song: I am what I am – Jonas Brothers
I am what I am
I can't help myself
And if you don't like it
Get with somebody else
I'll never change my ways
It's not a phase
This is how it is and this is how it's gonna stay
Because
I am what I am I know what I'm not
I'm not the type of guy
That doesn't know how good he's got it
And I won't back down
Won't come around
Saying that I changed cause
That's not how it's going down
And I know (I know, I know)
Wherever I go (I go, I go)
I know where I stand
I am what I am
Hey! Hey!
I am what I am
Hey! Hey!
I am what I am
What can I say?
I'm gonna be this way
Right up until my dying day
Because that's how it goes head to my toes
And if it doesn't show well I just had to let you know
Because
I am what I am
And nobody else
And if you've got a problem
Better take it somewhere else
Because I can't turn back
I'm right on track
And if you think you know
Well then you better check your facts
Because
I know (I know, I know)
Wherever I go (I go, I go)
4
I know where I stand
I am what I am
Hey! Hey!
I am what I am
Hey! Hey!
Oh can't you see
I'm just being me
I can't be you
And I don't want to be
Don't try to get
Inside my head
Cause what you see is what you get
I am what I am
I can't help myself
And if you don't like it
Get with somebody else
I'll never change my ways
It's not a phase
This is how it is right up until my dying day
And I know (I know, I know)
Wherever I go (I go, I go)
I know where I stand
I am what I am
Hey! Hey!
I am what I am
Hey! Hey!
I am what I am
Hey! Hey!
I am what I am
Hey! Hey!
I am what I am
