Seeing the Real You at Last Songtext
von Bettye LaVette

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
Ain't going nowhere fast
I′m just glad it′s over
And I'm seeing the real you at last

Didn′t I risk my neck for you?
Didn't I take chances?
Didn′t I rise above it all?
The most unfortunate circumstances


Well, I had some rotten nights
I didn't think they′d pass
I'm just thankful and grateful
To see the real you at last
Now, I'm hungry, and I′m irritable
I′m getting tired of this bag of tricks
At one time, there was nothing wrong with me
That you couldn't fix

Oh, I sailed through the storm
Strapped on to the mast
But now, the time has come
I′m seeing the real you at last

When I first met you, baby
You show no visible scars
You could sing like Otis Redding
You could dance like Bruno Mars

I don't mind a bit of trouble
Trouble always comes to pass
All I care about now
Is seeing the real, real, real you at last

Oh, I′m gonna quit this bullshit now
I guess I should've known
I got troubles, you got troubles
I think we′re ought to leave each other alone


Whatever you gonna do
Baby, go on, do it fast
I'm just trying to get used to
Seeing the real raw, real, real you at last

Oh yes, I am
Seeing the real you at last
Seeing the real, real you
Seeing the real, real you at last
The real you at last
The real you at last
I'm seeing the real, real, real, real, real you at last
