Best Imitation Of Myself Lyrics

    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
