Lyrics Eric Burdon – The Real Me

I’ve been here a million years
You know who I am
Sing songs of joy and sorrow
I’ve not been a sham

But, ah, this time the
Mirror man came to me
Showed me ‘xactly what I wanted to see
I said it’s fin’lly beginning to be
The way I want it to be, yeah, yeah
So when I come to your town this time
You’re gonna see the real me

I’ve had my name in lights
I’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 you’re gonna see the real me
