The Real You
The Real You
Everybody's looking at you when you're walkin' down the street
And I know that's just what you want them to do
So you get your stride together, and you give yourself a treat
And you say I'm the only one who sees right through to the real you
You claim someone's inside you who never shows her face
That they'd all be so surprised if they just knew
And that you keep them at their distance to keep them in their place
And it's been easy to agree it's just me who sees the real you
But if you ever took off all that body armor that you wear
Would either of us recognize whoever's left in there?
I suspected from the start of this, that it just might be true
That what you say is artifice, is just the real, real you
(inst)
I don't know why you'd even try to split yourself in two
But I've learned that I know how to lie every bit as good as you
Everybody's looking at you so you're alright today,
And you can count on me to know my cue
But when they all stop watching, when they turn their eyes away
That when you'll disappear, and I might too
'Cause I really wouldn't know what else to do
And no one's gonna say I've been untrue
To the real you
