Self-Effacing |
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 |
