BEN FOLDS lyrics : "Best Imitation Of Myself"

I feel like a quote out of context
Withholding the rest
So I can be for you 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

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
