I went back to the doctor
To get another shrink.
I sit down to tell him about my weekend,
But he never betrays what he thinks.
Can you see the real me doctor?
Can you see the real me doctor?
Can you, can you?
I went back to my mother
I said, "I'm crazy ma, help me."
She said, "I know how it feels son,
'Cos it runs in the family."
Can you see the real me, mother?
Can you see the real me, mom?
Can you see the real me?
Can you see the real me?
Can you see the real me?
Can you, can you see the real me?
Can you see?
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 you, can you?
Can you see the real me, can you?
I went to the holy man,
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, holy man?
Can you see the real me?
Can you see the real me?
Can you see the real me?
Can you see, can you see?
Rock & Roll's going do me in
Do me an evil wrong.
Funny how your best friends turn out
It was good for oh so long.
I stop myself getting letters
And then the people try to turn me back.
Publisher wants my memoirs and the limousines are black.
Can you see the real me,rock & roll? rock & roll?"
Can you see the real me me me me me me
Can you see the real me?
Can you see the real me?
Can you see, can you see?
Can you see, can you see?
Can you see, can you see?
Can you see?
Me me me me me..
