The Real Me

I went back to the doctor

To get another shrink

I sit and tell him 'bout 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, oh, 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, mother?

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 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, ha-ha-ha-ha

So he showed me to the golden gate, 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?
