[Verse 1]
Stop looking at me that way
Cause next thing I know there goes the day
Good for nothing when you're around
I can't tell which way's up or down

[Refrain]
Do you believe in mercy?
Then forgive me for me
And though I don't deserve it
When you hold me, I'm free

[Chorus]
Are you just a sweet talking girl
Calling the white roses red
'Til I've lost everything
Even the thoughts in my head
Baby, get real
Get real, real, real, real
Real, real, real, real

[Verse 2]
Stopping traffic to kiss me
We're a threat to normalcy
But is there more to you than sweet?
There's only so much candy I can eat
[Refrain]
Do you believe in mercy?
Then forgive me for me
And though I don't deserve it
When you hold me I'm free, like...

[Chorus]
You are just a sweet talking girl
Calling the white roses red
'Til I've lost everything
Even the thoughts in my head
Baby, get real
Get real, real, real, real
Real, real, real, real
Real, real

[Bridge]
Just as I approach the top
Put me out of business, close up shop
Over the cliff, the deepest drop
From fast, fast forward to total stop
Do you believe in mercy...

[Chorus]
You're just a sweet talking girl
Calling the white roses red
And I've lost everything
Even the thoughts in my head
Baby get real
Baby get real
Is this an act that you're giving up?
Baby, get real
Get real
Baby get
Get real
Baby get real
Get real
