Serious

Oh the last time I saw you
You looked so good baby
There was moonlight everywhere
Oh and God only knows How I hated to leave you standing there
You know I told you
That I wanted to hold you
But the moment was not right
So I took off down the raod
For another lonely night
Oh I wanna spend my life with you
Baby tell me is that so wrong
I don't ever want to say good night to you
I wanna hold you all night long
Chorus:
Baby this is serious
Baby, baby, this is serious
This is serious for the two of us
Serious
Oh all day long I keep thinkin' about you
And I'm ready to give in
'Cause I may never find anybody like you again
You see nobody's ever made me want to
Do what I'm 'bout to do
Because I found everything
And it's all wrapped up in you
Oh I wanna spend my life with you
Baby tell me is that so wrong
I don't ever want to say goodbye to you
I wanna hold you all night long
I can hardly believe what I'm sayin'
All my lifetime I've been prayin'
To find somebody who's heart's not taken
And I believe you're the one
No I don't mean at all to upset you
Honey I knew from the moment I met you
If I could find a way to get you
I'd have to fall in love
Baby get serious
Baby, baby, wanna be serious
This is serious about the two of us
Every night I want you by my side
So I can love you
Every night I want you by my side
So I can love you
'Cause forever's what it's gonna take to love you
