  • Close my eyes and I see your face at night
    Toss and turn, fall to sleep holding my pillow tight
    All the time I think of you
    You're with me no matter what I do

    Walk around with a smile upon my face
    In my mind you have taken up permanent space
    I am feeling what I can't explain
    And if what you're feeling is the same

    Let's get serious
    Let's get serious
    Let's get serious
    And fall in love

    Let's get serious
    Let's get serious
    Let's get serious
    And fall in love

    S E R I O U S, baby
    Let's get serious
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

    In your arms is the place I want to be
    With my love in you and your love inside of me
    Longing for each other just ain't fair
    When we've got so much love we want to share

    Let's get serious
    Let's get serious
    Let's get serious
    And fall in love

    Let's get serious
    Let's get serious
    Let's get serious
    And fall in love

    Let's get serious
    Let's get serious
    Let's get serious
    And fall in love

    Let's get serious
    Let's get serious
    Let's get serious
    And fall in love

    Serious
    Serious
    Serious
    And fall in love

    Serious
    Serious
    Serious
    And fall in love

    Serious
    Serious
    Serious
    And fall in love Writer/s: LEE GARRETT, STEVIE WONDER
