Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I went back to the doctor

To get another shrink

I sit and tell him about my weekend

But he never betrays what he thinks, whoo

[Verse 2]

Can you see the real me, doctor?

Doctor

Can you see the real me, doctor?

Whoa, doctor

[Verse 3]

I went back to my mother

I said, I'm crazy ma, help me

She says, I know how it feels, son

'Cause it runs in the family

[Verse 4]

Can you see the real me, mother?

Mother

Can you see the real me, mother?

Whoa, mother

[Verse 5]

Can you see, can you see the real me?

Can you see, can you see the real me?

The real me, the real me

[Verse 6]

The cracks between the paving stones

Look like rivers of flowing veins

Strange people who know me

Peepin' from behind every window pane

[Verse 7]

The girl I used to love

Lives in this yellow house

Yesterday, she passed me by

She doesn't wanna know me know

[Verse 8]

Can you see the real me, can you?

Can you?

Can you see the real me, can you?

Whoa, yeah

[Verse 9]

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 gate

[Verse 10]

Can you see the real me, preacher?

Preacher

Can you see the real me, preacher?

[Verse 11]

Can you see? Can you see?

Can you see? Whoa

Can you see the real me, doctor?

Can you see the real me, mother?

[Verse 12]

Can you see the real me?
