Best Imitation Of Myself

I feel like a quote out of context

With holding the rest

So i can be for you what you want to see

I got the gestures and sounds

Got the timing down

It's uncanny, yeah

You'd think it was me

Do you think i should take a class

To lose my southern accent?

Did i make me up

Or make the face 'til it stuck?

I do the best imitation of myself.



The "problem with you" speech

You gave me was fine

I liked the theories about

My little stage

And i swore i was listening

But i started drifting

Around the part about me

Acting my age

And now if it's all the same

I've people to entertain

I juggle one handed

Do some magic tricks and

The best imitation of myself



Maybe i'm thinking

Myself in a hole

Wondering who i am

When i ought to know

Straighten up now

Time to go

Fool somebody else

Fool somebody else



Last night i was

East with them

And west within

Trying to be for you

What you want to see

But i can't help it

With you the good and bad

Comes through

Don't want you hanging out

With no one but me

Now if it's all the same

It comes from the same place

And if my mind's somewhere else

You won't be able to tell

I do the best imitation of myself

Yes it's uncanny to see

You'd really think it was me

The best imtitation of myself

Do the best imitation of myself
