Elvis Costello The Imposter song lyrics

Trying to be too bad

Trying to talk too tough

Trying to jack the lad

You'd think he'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've never been this far

You've always been too smart

And you know all our boys

Are really girls at heart

But he's not...

When I said that I was lying I might have been lying

Never let me hear you say you're not trying

This is your big decision

Hope you're not disappointed

He's got double vision

When you want him double jointed

And he's not...

He'll only bring you souvenirs

It's only gonna end in tears

And he is only the imposter
