REAL ME
(Harlan Howard)
Jan Howard - 1968


All you ever see in me is the clown
I'm just someone who's a lot of fun
To have around
And I'd lose you if I told you
I love you desperately
What a pity you'll never see
The real me

You see, there's really two of me
And one of me is lonely as can be
But she hides when you're about
And the other one, she comes out

But keep it light, keep it gay
Don't let him know
By look, word or action, how I feel
Oh, I'd lose you if I told you
I love you, so hopelessly
What a pity you'll never see
The real me

What a pity you'll never see
The real me
