Lyrics

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, hoo! 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" Can you see the real me, mama? Mama! Can you see the real me, mama? Oh, 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, 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 wanna know me now Can you see the real me? Can ya? Can ya? Can you see the real me? Can ya? Oh, 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? Oh! Can you see the real me, doctor? Can you see the real me, mother? Can you see the real me, me, me, me...?
