The Real Me
IÒ‘ve been here a million years,
You know who I am.
Sing songs of joy and sorrow,
IÒ‘ve not been a sham.
IÒ‘ve been in evÒ‘ry country, baby,
IÒ‘ve been in evÒ‘ry place,
Millions have heard my music,
But they really donÒ‘t know my face.
But, ah, this time the
Mirror man came to me,
Showed me Ò‘xactly what I wanted to see.
I said itÒ‘s finÒ‘lly beginning to be
The way I want it to be,yeah, yeah.
So when I come to your town this time
YouÒ‘re gonna see the real me.
IÒ‘ve had my name in lights,
IÒ‘ve known fortune and fame,
But I have always felt that I was a
Lonely and lost faceless name.
I searched for years and years,
And finally this time
The face I present to you, baby,
I said this time is gonna be mine.
You see this time ........
This time youÒ‘re gonna see the real me.
