[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...
[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
Is this an act that you're giving up?
