Seeing the Real You at Last

Well, I thought that the rain would cool things down

But it looks like it don’t

I’d like to get you to change your mind

But it looks like you won’t

From now on I’ll be busy

I am not going to nowhere fast

I’m just glad it’s over

And I’m seeing the real you at last

Well, didn’t I risk my neck for you

Didn’t I take chances?

Didn’t I rise above it all for you

The most unfortunate circumstances?

Well, I have had some rotten nights

Didn’t think that they would pass

I’m just thankful and grateful

To be seeing the real you at last

I’m hungry and I’m irritable

And I’m tired of this bag of tricks

At one time there was nothing wrong with me

That you could not fix

Well, I sailed through the storm

Strapped to the mast

But the time has come

And I’m seeing the real you at last

When I met you, baby

You didn’t show no visible scars

You could ride like Annie Oakley

You could shoot like Belle Starr

Well, I don’t mind a reasonable amount of trouble

Trouble always comes to pass

But all I care about now

Is that I’m seeing the real you at last

Well, I’m going to quit this baby talk now

I guess I should have known

I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles

I think maybe we’d better leave each other alone

Whatever you going to do

Please do it fast

I’m still trying to get used to

Seeing the real you at last
