Curtis Mayfield
The Real Me
See me
Can you see the real me, huh?
I don't deserve you
Look through me
You'll see a soul, my dear

I just have to confess now
Even though, even though you've done your best now
And I know, I know that I have ruined your happiness now
And I'm ashamed
Can you, can you forgive me?

Now if there's some place in your heart
Where we, where we might start anew
You won't believe these things I say
But I would never go astray
And if you took me back, I'd display
The true real me
