The Imposter Lyrics - Get Happy!! - Elvis Costello

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 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 

When you want him double jointed 

Photos 

And he's not the man you'd think that he can be 

I just don't know why you can't see 

He'll only bring you souvenirs 

It's only gonna end in tears 

And he is only the imposter 

And he is only the imposter
