Seeing the Real You at Last Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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?

[Verse 4]
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

[Verse 5]
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

[Verse 6]
Well, I sailed through the storm
Strapped to the mast
But the time has come
And I’m seeing the real you at last


[Verse 7]
When I met you, baby
You didn’t show no visible scars
You could ride like Annie Oakley
You could shoot like Belle Starr


[Verse 8]
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

[Verse 9]
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


[Verse 10]
Whatever you going to do
Please do it fast

I’m still trying to get used to
Seeing the real you at last

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
