best imitation of myself (live music choice)
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 gestures and sounds, got the timing down
Its uncanny, yeah, youd 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 its all the same
Ive people to entertain
You know I juggle one handed, do some magic tricks and
The best imitation of myself
Maybe Im 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 cant help it with you the good and bad comes through
Hanging out with no one but me
If its all the same it comes from the same place
And if my minds somewhere else
You wont be able to tell
I do the best imitation of myself
Yes its uncanny to see
Youd really think it was me
The best imitation of myself
Do the best imitation of myself
