"The Real Me" Cover

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...?
