Lyrics The Real Me - Eric Burdon

The Real Me

I’ve been here a million years
You know who I am
Sing songs of joy and sorrow
I’ve not been a sham
I’ve been in ev’ry country, baby
I’ve been in ev’ry place
Millions have heard my music
But they really don’t know my face
But, ah, this time the
Mirror man came to me
Showed me 'xactly what I wanted to see
I said it’s fin’lly beginning to be
The way I want it to be, yeah, yeah
So when I come to your town this time
You’re gonna see the real me
I’ve had my name in lights
I’ve known fortune and fame
But I have always felt that I was a
Lonely and lost faceless name
I searched for years and years
And finally this time
The face I present to you, baby
I said this time is gonna be mine
You see this time…
This time you’re gonna see the real me
