Elvis Costello — The Imposter

[Verse 1] Trying to be too bad Trying to talk too tough Trying to jack the lad You'd think you'd had enough [Chorus] But he's not the man you'd think that he can be I just don't know why you can't see That he is only the imposter That he is only the imposter [Verse 2] Never been this far Always been too smart And you know all our boys Are really girls at heart [Chorus] But he's not the man you'd think that he can be I just don't know why you can't see That he is only the imposter That he is only the imposter [Bridge] When I said that I was lying, I might have been lying Never let me hear you say you're not trying No No [Verse 3] This is your big decision Hope you're not disappointed He's got double vision When you want him double jointed [Chorus] And he's not the man you'd think that he can be I just don't know why you can't see [Outro] (The imposter) He'll only bring you souvenirs (The imposter) It's only gonna end in tears (The imposter) And he is only the imposter And he is only the imposter
