Can You See 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 betray what he thinks.

Can you see the real me, doctor?

Can you see the real me, doctor?

Can ya mmm, 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 tell ya Can you see the real me, holy man?

Can’t you see the real me woo…

Can’t you see the real me Can’t you see the real me Can’t you see

Can’t you see

Ah no.

Rock and roll’s going do me Do me an evil wrong

Funny how your best friend’s 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

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
