| I went back to the doctor to get another shrink
|
| I sit and tell him about my weekend
|
| But he never can change what he thinks
|
| Can you see the real me, doctor, doctor
|
| Can you see the real me, doctor, ooh doctor
|
| 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
|
| Come on, tell me
|
| Can you see the real me, mother, mother
|
| Can you see the real me, mama, whoa mama
|
| 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
|
| The cracks between the pavement stones
|
| Like rivers of flowing rain
|
| Strange people who know me
|
| From behind every window pane
|
| The girl I used to love
|
| Lives in this yellow house
|
| Yesterday, she passed me by
|
| She don’t want to know me now
|
| Can you see the real me, can ya, can ya
|
| Can you see the real me, can ya, whoa ya
|
| I ended up with the preacher
|
| Full of lies and hate
|
| I seemed to scare him a little, ha ha
|
| So he showed me to the golden gate
|
| Whoa, can you see the real me, preacher, preacher
|
| Can you see the real me, preacher, whoa ya
|
| Can you see, can you see, can you see, whoa ya
|
| Can you see the real me, doctor, doctor
|
| Can you see the real me, mama
|
| Can you see the real me me me me |
