I went back to the doctor to get another shrink

I sit and tell him about my weekend

But he never betray what he thinks Can you see the real me, doctor?

Can you see the real me, doctor?

Can ya, can ya? 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" Oh, can you see the real me, mother?

Can you see the real me, mother?

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

Can you see the real me, can you see? 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 Oh, can you see the real me?

Can ya, can ya?

Can you see the real me, can ya? I went to the holy man, full of lies and hate

I seemed to scare him a little

So he showed me to the golden gate, I said Can't you see the real me, holy man?

Can't you see the real me?

Can't you see the real me? Can't you see the real me?

Can't you see, can't you see?

Ah, no, ooh Rock and roll's gonna do me

Do me an evil wrong

Funny how your best friends turn out

It was good for, oh, so long Can't stop myself getting letters

And then the people try to turn me back

Publisher want my memoir

And my limousines are black Oh, can't you see the real me?

Rock and roll, rock and roll

Can't you see the real me, me, me, me, me, me, me?

Can't you see the real me, can't you see the real me? People, can't you see, can't you see?

Can't you see, can't you see, can't you see?

Can't you see, can't you see?
