Bob Dylan
Seeing the Real You at Last (Empire Burlesque Alternate Take)
[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
In the land of a thousand dances
[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
