Serious
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, lookin' 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
I never thought that I
(Oh, honey, I'm not finished) oh, sorry
Since I was two or three (mm-hm), my life was planned out neat (mm-hm)
I'd get my law degree (yeah), and then win my Senate seat (mm)
A big, white house back East (uh-huh), all of the amenities (yeah)
Three kids at least, just like the Kennedys
Here's where our lives begin (our lives begin)
But just where do you fit in? (Fit me in!)
I'll break it down now, baby
So, baby, give me your hand (oh-oh, here's my hand, here's my hand)
I've got some dreams to make true (we both have dreams to make true)
I'll know that you'll understand (oh yes, I understand)
It's time to get serious, time to get serious with-
Serious (serious), gotta wake up and take our journey
Serious (serious), I'm telling you, as a future attorney
You want the moon and sky (ah), then take it, don't be shy (okay)
Baby, that's why you and I (you and I)
Should break up
Yes, baby, I'll give you my hand, we- what?!
You're breaking up with me? I thought you were proposing
Elle, if I'm gonna be a senator when I'm 30, I'm gonna need somebody
Serious, less of a Marilyn, more of a Jackie
Serious, somebody classy and not too tacky (what?!)
Okay, that came out wrong, baby, let's both be strong
I mean, we've known all along
Just shut up, what does that mean, I'm not a Jackie?
I'm not serious? But I am seriously in love with you
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
Check, please
I guess it calms my fear to know it's not a surprise
I thought one look at you, lookin' 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
