Is It Really You?

I’m looking over a picture of my hometown lover

“I’m going west to make a name,” that’s what I told him long ago

And though he waited, when I returned the spark had faded

I got him in to see my show; that was the best that I could do

But it don’t seem right, no it don’t seem right, even as I’m lying here tonight

I love everything about you. I don’t need to know your name;

Hardly recognize your face; seems I’ve seen it everyplace, cause you all look just the same

Well I see you’ve changed your hairstyle, yes it’s looking hip and new

Last time ‘round your robbed my blind, ripped my clothes off, I don’t mind

Tell me, is it really you?

Though we pretended, we knew our sad charade had ended

Nothing more was left to say, nothing less than love would do

I’m going under, and as I sink I kinda wonder

Was I wrong to lead him on; And was I right to let him go?

‘Cause it don’t seem right, no it don’t seem right; even as I’m holding you so tight

We could go out to a movie, but I’m wasted from my show

Gee, you’re nice to have around; you’re the next best thing I’ve found to the home I used to know

You know, it all looks so familiar, rolling down Park Avenue

Need some change to pay the driver, honey, get me out a fiver

Tell me, is it really you?

Tell me, is it really you?
