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
