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



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, 'cuz it runs in the family



Can you see the real me? Mother, mother

Can you see the real me? Mother, oh, mama



Can you see, can you see, can you see the real me? (2x)



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? (2x)



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



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
