Nothing Serious

You're pretty sure you wouldn't say
You think of her all day
Now that would be ridiculous
It's just a silly game you play

Teasing and taunting and fooling and flaunting
How little you care
Not wishing nor wanting
For anything more than what's already there

Cause that'd be sentimental
And detrimental
For your mental health

Purely coincidental
That you tremble
Every time you get her message on your cell

But it's nothing serious
It's only just a game
Don't be delirious, now
It sure don't mean a thing

Early on, she told you that you were
Her number one
But what she really meant by that was that you're just the first
Of many others to come

And you wouldn't mind it
You'll probably try it out yourself some day
Still hard to deny that
You would prefer it were the other way

Now don't be sentimental
It's detrimental
For your mental health

Simply accidental
That it's the most gentle
Feeling when you wake up next to her in bed

But it's nothing serious
It's only just a game
Don't be delirious, now
It sure don't mean a thing

But is it the way she smiles
Or is it the jokes she makes
Is it her big, brown eyes
That make your mind go wild and lead your thoughts astray

Now don't get your hopes up, boy
This is sure to fail
Harmless is beautiful
And screwball beats another tragedy

Cause it's nothing serious
It's only just a game
Don't be delirious, now
It sure don't mean a thing, one more time

I told you it's nothing serious
It's only just a game, it's just a little harmless game
So don't be delirious, now
It sure don't mean a thing

To her anyway
And still I'd like to say
You make my day
