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.
