But he never betrays what he thinks
Can you see the real me doctor? Doctor
Can you see, can you see the real me, real me
Can you see the real me mother? Oh mother
She said, "I know how it feels son, 'cos it runs in the family"
The cracks between the paving stones
The girl I used to love lives in this yellow house
So he showed me to the golden gate
I am in love with the preacher
Can you see, can you see, can you see the real
Can you see the real me doctor? Oh doctor
Can you see the real me doctor? Doctor
Can you see the real me mother?
From behind every window pane
Can you see the real me preacher? Preacher
Can you see the real me preacher? Oh yeah
Can you see, can you see, can you see, oh yeah
Yesterday she passed me by
With full of lies and hate
Look like rivers of flowing rain
Strange people who know me
I seemed to scare him a little
I went back to my mother, I said, "I'm crazy ma, help me"
Can you see the real me? Can you? Oh yeah
Can you see the real me mother? Mother
C'mon tell me
She doesn't want to know me now
Can you see the real me? Can you? Can you?
