Anita Baker
Serious
[Verse 1]
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 road for another lonely night

[Pre-Chorus]
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
Oh baby, this is serious for the two of us
Oh yes, serious
Serious, baby
Serious

[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
Baby, this is serious
Ooh, serious, I'm so serious
Baby baby, this is serious for the two of us

[Bridge]
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
Oh 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

[Chorus]
Serious
Serious, wanna be serious, baby let me get
Serious about the two of us
Serious, oh, serious
Serious, serious, baby
Serious, I'm so serious
[Outro]
Ooh wee, baby; ooh wee, baby
Oh baby
Every night I want you by my side
So I can love you, yes
Every night I want you by my side
So I can love you
'Cause forever's what it's gonna take to love you
Every night I want you by my side
So I can love you
