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 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 listening but I started drifting,
around the part about me acting my age
So now if it's all the same,
I've people to entertain.
You know 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 it's time to go
fool somebody else.
Last night I was east with them and west within,
sometimes I wanna be what they wanna see.
But I can't help it with you,
the good and the bad comes through.
Don't want you hanging out with no one but me.
Oh, but it's all the same, it comes from the same place,
And if my minds 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,
I do the best imitation of myself.
