Best Imitation Of Myself

Ben Folds

Verse I feel like a quote out of context, Withholding the rest so I can be for you what you wanna see. I got the gesture 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 that is stuck I do the best imitation of myself. Verse The "problem with you" speech you gave me was fine I liked the theories about my little stage. And I swore I was listening till I started drifting Around the part about me acting my age. Now if it's All the same... I've people to entertain. You know I'll juggle one-handed, do some magic tricks and The best imitation of myself. Bridge Maybe I'm thinking myself in a hole... Wondering... Who I am when I oughta know Straighten up now time to go fool somebody else... Fool somebody else. Verse 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 that 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 Outro 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.
