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