The Real Me - Pete Townshend

I went back to the doctor to get another shrink

I sit and tell him about my weekend

But he never can change what he thinks

Can you see the real me, doctor, doctor

Can you see the real me, doctor, ooh doctor

I went back to my mother

I said, I’m crazy, ma, help me

She said, I know how it feels, son

'Cause it runs in the family

Come on, tell me

Can you see the real me, mother, mother

Can you see the real me, mama, whoa mama

Can you see, 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 real me

The cracks between the pavement stones

Like rivers of flowing rain

Strange people who know me

From behind every window pane

The girl I used to love

Lives in this yellow house

Yesterday, she passed me by

She don’t want to know me now

Can you see the real me, can ya, can ya

Can you see the real me, can ya, whoa ya

I ended up with the preacher

Full of lies and hate

I seemed to scare him a little, ha ha

So he showed me to the golden gate

Whoa, can you see the real me, preacher, preacher

Can you see the real me, preacher, whoa ya

Can you see, can you see, can you see, whoa ya

Can you see the real me, doctor, doctor

Can you see the real me, mama

Can you see the real me me me me
