The Real Me

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, woo

Can you see the real me, doctor, doctor?

Can you see the real me, doctor? Whoa, 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 wanna know me now

Can you see the real me, can you, can you?

Can you see the real me? Can you? Whoa, yeah

I ended up with the preacher

Full of lies and hate

I seemed to scare him a little

So he showed me to the golden gates

Woo, can you see the real me, preacher, preacher?

Can you see the real me, preacher? Whoa, yeah

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, Mama?

Can you see the real me?
