From the recording No Way Out But Through
Lyrics
I wish I had the nerve to say just how I feel
But I sure need this job and it’s all part of the deal
So I trade a little soul for insurance and a check
And don’t worry about the boot that’s on my neck
I’ve got a satchel full of masks I wear out in the world
There’s the one I wear to work and for talking to a girl
There’s one for Sunday morning and there’s one for the bar
It’s easy to lose track of who you are
Then I see myself reflected in your eyes
And there I was with no disguise
CHORUS:
I’m just me when I’m with you
What you see is what is true
Exactly who I am as a person as a man
I’m just me when I’m with you
So when I tell the boss, “I think you might be right”
I won’t be getting lost I’m just staying out of sight
I can play the game as well as I need to
If I know I’m going home to you
Where I can see myself reflected in your eyes
And there I am with no disguise
CHORUS:
I’m just me when I’m with you
What you see is what is true
Exactly who I am as a person as a man
I’m just me when I’m with you
