I feel like a quote out of context   withholding the rest   so i can be for you what you want to see   i got the gesture and sounds   got the timing down   tt's uncanny, yeah, you 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 till it stuck   i do the best imitation of myself      phe 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   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 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 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 imitation of myself   the best imitation of myself
