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 mother whoa mother
  
   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
