Best Imitation Of Myself - Ben Folds
I feel like a quote out of context
Withholding 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

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
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 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
hanging out
with No one but me
But 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
