Serious

[WARNER]
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
And 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

[ELLE]
I never thought that I—

[WARNER]
Um, honey, I'm not finished

[ELLE]
Oh, sorry

[WARNER (ELLE)]
Since I was two or three (Mmhmm)
My life was planned out neat (Mmhmm)
I'd get my law degree (Yeah)
And then win my Senate seat (Mmm)
A big white house back east (Uh huh)
All of the amenities (Yeah)

[WARNER]
Three kids
At least—

[BOTH]
Just like the Kennedy's

[WARNER (ELLE)]
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 (Oh ohh)
So baby give me your hand
(Here's my hand, here's my hand)
I've got some dreams to make true
(We both have dreams to make true)
I know you'll understand
(Oh yes, I understand)

[BOTH]
It's time to get serious
Time to get serious with

[WARNER (ELLE)]
Serious (Serious)
Gotta wake up and take our journey
Serious (Serious)
I'm tellin' you as a future attorney
You want the moon and sky (Ahh)
Then take it, don't be shy (Okay!)
Baby that's why you and I (You and I)
Should break up

[ELLE]
Yes baby I'll give you my hand—wait what!?

(spoken)
You're breaking up with me?
I thought you were proposing!

[WARNER, spoken]
Elle, if I'm gonna be a Senator when I'm thirty
I'm gonna need somebody

(sung)
—serious!
Less of a Marilyn, more of a Jackie
Serious!
Somebody classy and not too tacky

[ELLE, spoken]
What!?

[WARNER]
Okay that came out wrong
Baby let's both be strong
I mean we've known all along!

[ELLE, spoken]
Just shut up
What does that mean, I'm not a Jackie?
I'm not serious?
But I am seriously in love with you

[WARNER, sung]
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...
