Best Imitation Of Myself
by Ben Folds Five
I feel like a quote out of context with holding the rest
So I can be free what you want to see
I got the gesture and sound
Got the timing down
It`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
instrumental break
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
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
