The Imposter

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 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 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 the man you'd think that he can be I just don't know why you can't see The imposter 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
