"The Real Me"

I went back to the doctor

To get another shrink

I sit and tell him 'bout my weekend

But he never betrays what he thinks

Woo

Can you see the real me, doctor?

Doctor?

Can you see the real me, doctor?

Woah, 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

Can you see the real me, mama?

Mama?

Can you see the real me, mama?

Woah, mama

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 cracks between the paving stones

Look like rivers of flowing veins

Strange people who know me

Peeping from behind every window pane

The girl I used to love

Lives in this yellow house

Yesterday she passed me by

She doesn't want to know me now

Can you see the real me?

Can ya?

Can ya?

Can you see the real me?

Can ya?

Woah, yeah

I ended up with a preacher

Full of lies and hate

I seemed to scare him a little

So he showed me to the golden gate

Can you see the real me, preacher?

Preacher?

Can you see the real me, preacher?

Can you see

Can you see

Can you see

Woah

Can you see the real me, doctor?

Can you see the real me, ma?

Can you see the real me (me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me)?
