Serious Lyrics
WARNER
We both know why we're here
I see it in your eyes
I guess it calms my fear
To know it's not a surprise
I thought one look at you
Looking like a dream come true
Would leave me speechless like you always do
But now we're wide awake
We've got some plans to make
Let's take some action, baby
So, baby, give me your hand
I've got some dreams to make true
I've got the future all planned
It's time to get serious
Time to get serious with you
ELLE
I never thought that I-
WARNER
(spoken) Uh, honey, I'm not finished.
ELLE
(spoken) Oh, sorry!
WARNER
Since I was two or three
ELLE
Mmmm
WARNER
My life was planned out neat
ELLE
Mmmm
WARNER
I'd get my law degree
ELLE
Yeahh
WARNER
And then win my senate seat
ELLE
Mmmm
WARNER
A big white house back east
ELLE
Oh, ohh
WARNER
All of the amenities
ELLE
Yeahh
WARNER
Three kids
BOTH
At least, just like the Kennedys
WARNER
Here's where our lives begin
ELLE
Our lives begin
WARNER
Just where do you fit in?
ELLE
Fit me in!
WARNER
I'll break it down now, baby
So, baby, give me your hand
ELLE
Oo, whoaa, here's my hand, here's my hand
WARNER
I've got some dreams to make true
ELLE
We both have dreams to make true
WARNER
I'll know that you'll understand
ELLE
Oh yes, I understand
BOTH
It's time to get serious
Time to get serious
WARNER
With you
Serious
ELLE
Serious
WARNER
Gotta wake up and take our journey
Serious
ELLE
Serious
WARNER
I'm telling you as a future attorney
ELLE
Oh, oh
WARNER
You want the moon and sky
Then take it, don't be shy
ELLE
Heyy
WARNER
Baby, that's why you and I
ELLE:
I, you and I
WARNER
Should break up!
ELLE
Hey, baby, I'll give you my hand, we-
(Spoken) WHAT?? You're breaking up with me?
I thought you were proposing!
WARNER
(Spoken) ELLE, if I'm gonna be a senator when I'm thirty,
I'm gonna need somebody
Serious
Less of a Marilyn, more of a Jackie
Serious
Somebody classy and not too tacky
ELLE
(Spoken) What?!
WARNER
Okay, that came out wrong
ELLE
(Sobs)
WARNER
Baby, let's both be strong
ELLE
(Sobs)
WARNER
I mean, we've known all along
ELLE
(Spoken) Just shut up! What does that mean, I'm not a Jackie?
I'm not serious? But I am seriously in love with you.
WARNER
Baby, my future's all planned
I've got some dreams to make true
I thought that you'd understand
It's time to get serious
Time to get serious
(Spoken) Check, please.
