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.
I´ve been in ev´ry country, baby,
I´ve been in ev´ry place,
Millions have heard my music,
but they really don´t know my face.

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.
