Elvis Costello
The Imposter [live, London 1979]
Trying to be too bad
Trying to talk too tough
Trying to jack the lad
You'd think you'd had enough
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
You never been this far
Always stuck too smart
And you know all our boys
Are really girls at heart
And 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
When I said that I was lying, I might have been lying
Never let me hear you say you're not trying
No
No
This is your big decision
Hope you're not disappointed
He's got double vision
Whеn you want him double jointed
And he's not thе man you'd think that he can be
I just don't know why you can't see
The imposter
He'll only leave you souvenirs
It's only gonna end in tears
He is only the imposter
And he is only the imposter
And he is only the imposter
