The Real Me - Eric Burdon

I’ve been here a million years

You know who I am

Sing songs of joy and sorrow

I’ve not been a sham

I’ve been in ev’ry country, baby

I’ve been in ev’ry place

Millions have heard my music

But they really don’t know my face

But, ah, this time the

Mirror man came to me

Showed me 'xactly what I wanted to see

I said it’s fin’lly beginning to be

The way I want it to be, yeah, yeah

So when I come to your town this time

You’re gonna see the real me

I’ve had my name in lights

I’ve known fortune and fame

But I have always felt that I was a

Lonely and lost faceless name

I searched for years and years

And finally this time

The face I present to you, baby

I said this time is gonna be mine

You see this time…

This time you’re gonna see the real me
