Serious Lyrics

Throw away your toys, you can't have fun anymore

You're a grown man now so act like one

Throw away your concert tees, you can't wear those anymore

You don't live in a dorm so clean up

Serious, it's time to get serious

Or nobody will take you seriously

Serious, you better get serious

But it all gets so serious it's funny to me

Bring yourself on over here, I can't be alone anymore

I've been that way for too long

I'll straighten up, stay home at night and I wont get stoned anymore

Well anyway, not too much

Serious, I want to get serious

If you're willing to take me seriously

Serious, you know that I'm serious

Just as serious as a man can be

I've spent most of my life going from joke to joke

It's got to the point I couldn't hold out any hope for the real thing

But then you came to me.

I'm done messing 'round and living like a clown

So come to me, seriously

I gave up on my old routines, I can't do that anymore

Not hanging out in a bar near as much

I get myself a good night's sleep with you here by my side

No beer sitting half drunk under the reading light

I'm serious, this time I'm serious

And I want you to take me seriously

Serious, completely serious

I'm the serious man you always wanted me to be
