The Real Me

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I went back to the doctor To get another shrink I sit and tell him about my weekend But he never could change what he thinks, whoo [Chorus] Can you see the real me? Doctor, doctor Can you see the real me? Doctor, oh doctor [Verse 2] I went back to my mother I said, "I'm crazy, ma, help me" She said, "I know how it feels, son 'Cause it runs in the family" [Chorus] Come on, tell me Can you see the real me? Mother, mama Can you see the real me? Mama, whoa mama [Refrain] Can you see? Can you see? Can you see the real me? Can you see? Can you see the real me? The real me, the real me, the real me? [Verse 3] The cracks between the pavement stones Like rivers of flowing rain Strange people who know me From behind every windowpane The girl I used to love Lives in this yellow house Yesterday she passed me by She don't wanna know me now [Chorus] Can you see the real me? Can you? Can you? Can you see the real me Can you? Whoa, yeah [Verse 4] I ended up with the preacher Full of lies and hate I seemed to scare him a little, ha ha So he sold me to the golden gates [Chorus] Can you see the real me? Preacher, preacher Can you see the real me? Preacher, whoa yeah [Outro] Can you see? Can you see? Can you see? Whoa yeah Can you see the real me, doctor, doctor? Can you see the real me, ma? Can you see the real me?
