I feel like a quote out of context,
Withholding the rest so I can be for you what you wanna see.
I got the gesture 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 that is stuck
I do the best imitation of myself.
Verse
The "problem with you" speech you gave me was fine
I liked the theories about my little stage.
And I swore I was listening till I started drifting
Around the part about me acting my age. Now if it's
All the same I've people to entertain.
You know I'll juggle one-handed, do some magic tricks and
The best imitation of myself.
Bridge
Maybe I'm thinking myself in a hole
Wondering
Who I am when I oughta know
Straighten up now time to go fool somebody else
Fool somebody else.
Verse
Last night I was east with them and west within
Trying to be for you what you wanna 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 that 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
Outro
Yes it's uncanny to see
You'd really think it was me.
The best imitation of myself
I do the best imitation of myself.
