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 up
or make the face till 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 listenin'
but I started drifting around the part about me acting
my age
now if its 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
tryin' to be for you what you want to see
but I can't help it if you
the good and bad comes through
don't want you hanging out with no one but me
our love is all the same
it come from the same place
if my minds somewhere else
you won't be able to tell
I do the best imitation of myself
yeah its uncanny to see
you'd really think it was me
I do the best imitation of myself
I do the best imitation of myself
