[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
