[Verse 1]
I knew that something was wrong from the start
I knew she was trouble when she called me "sweetheart"
Don't trust pet names—I don't trust you at all
I like it straight down the line, like a fastball

[Pre-Chorus]
You know my baby, she don't play around
If she doesn't wanna talk, she don't make a sound
Poor Andy made a big mistake
She'll never trust somebody who'd take pie over cake

[Chorus]
She likes to see it all in black and white
The other colors are a waste of time

We like to go out to the beach
Feel the waves and forget 'bout stupid politicians
(We like) like to go out to the beach (to the beach)
I'm in love with the girl who's in love with...
Keepin' me real, keepin' me real
Keepin' me real, keepin' me real

[Pre-Chorus 2]
These days, everybody's got something to say
Everybody wants it, and they want it their way
Poor Billy made a big mistake
She'll never trust somebody who trades ocean for the lake
[Chorus]
She likes to see it all in black and white
The other colors are a waste of time

We like to go out to the beach
Feel the waves and forget 'bout stupid politicians
(We like) like to go out to the beach (to the beach)
I'm in love with the girl who's in love with...
Keepin' me real, keepin' me real
Keepin' me real, keepin' me real

We like to go out to the beach
Feel the waves and forget 'bout stupid politicians
(We like) like to go out to the beach (to the beach)
I'm in love with the girl who's in love with...
Keepin' me real, keepin' me real
Keepin' me real, keepin' me real

[Outro]
Keepin' me real, keepin' me real
