Lyrics Best Imitation of Myself (Demo, 1992) - Ben Folds
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
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
'til
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
And
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
want
to
see
But
I
can't
help
it
with
you
the
good
and
bad
comes
through
Hanging
out
with
no
one
but
me
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
Do
the
best
imitation
of
myself
