| I’m not the guy who says «I'm the guy»
|
| Always been self-effacing
|
| I’m in the room, you won’t see me soon
|
| Always been self-effacing
|
| Compliments come but my rule of thumb is
|
| Under duress say all my success is
|
| All due to them, on them I depend
|
| And I’m self-effacing, and I’m self-effacing
|
| My resume is dull and it’s gray
|
| Always been self-effacing
|
| Want to be known as someone unknown
|
| Always been self-effacing
|
| Why can’t I pose, wear flashier clothes
|
| Inflate who I am, a little flim flam
|
| Referring to me, I’m third person me
|
| And I’m self-effacing, and I’m self-effacing
|
| Thank you, but I don’t merit your praise
|
| Thank you, but I don’t merit your gaze
|
| Thank you, but I’m not up to the task
|
| Thank you, but I don’t know why you’ve asked
|
| And I’m self-effacing, and I’m self-effacing
|
| Close to the vest is what I do best
|
| They’ll attest, self-effacing
|
| My DNA just won’t go away
|
| I remain self-effacing
|
| I don’t deserve first, second, or third
|
| A great deal less, I have to confess
|
| My trophy room’s bare, but why should I care
|
| And I’m self-effacing, and I’m self-effacing
|
| Thank you, but I had help to prepare
|
| Thank you, but I was told what to wear
|
| Thank you, but Autotune has been used
|
| Used and perhaps a trifle abused
|
| And I’m self-effacing, and I’m self-effacing
|
| Self-effacing
|
| Self-effacing
|
| Why can’t I preen, be part of the scene
|
| Berate those around and act like the clown
|
| Guest DJ a bit, sardonic in wit
|
| ‘Cause I’m self-effacing
|
| Self-effacing
|
| Self-effacing
|
| It’s not a choice, I’m less a Rolls Royce
|
| And more minivan, you do understand
|
| We’re tight, me and you, see things as we do
|
| We’re both self-effacing, and I’m self-effacing |
