Lyrics for 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?
