Pete Townshend
The Real Me
[Verse 1]
I went back to the doctor
To get another shrink
After tellin' him about my weekend
But he never betrays what he thinks

Can you see the real me, doctor, doctor?
Can you see the real me, doctor?
Oh, doctor
Woo!

[Verse 2]
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"
Woo!
Can you see the real me, mother, mother?
Can you see the real me, mother?
Oh, yeah

Can you see the real me, the real me, the rеal me, the real mе?
Can you see the real me?

[Bridge]
The cracks between the paving stones
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 don't want to know me now
Can you see the real me, can you, can you?
Can you see the real me, can you?
Oh yeah

[Verse 3]
I headed back to the preacher
Full of lies and hate
I seemed to scare him a little
So he showed me to the golden gate

Can you see the real me, preacher, preacher?
Can you see the real me, preacher?
Oh, yeah

[Outro]
Can you see the real me, the real me?
Can you see me?
Can you see the real me?
Can you see the real me, can you, can you?
Can you see the real me?
Woah, can you see the real me?
