Serious
Lyrics:
[English]
There's no need to lie (to lie)
'Cause baby, I don't have to
Truth is, I'm down for you
Caught me by surprise
Before I knew it, I was caught in your vibe
That type of energy is all that I'm on
More than your body is turning me on
That type of pressure, can't leave it alone (alone)
When I thought I had enough
I thought forever I would be alone ('lone)
But girl, you showed me that, damn it, I'm wrong (wrong)
That type of pressure can't, leave it alone
If I wanted to, I could do it, babe
'Cause it's that feeling (it's that feeling)
It's that feeling that you get when it feels serious (when it feels serious)
And it's getting serious (it's getting serious)
This is more than I want you in tonight
Feels more like I want you here for life
To make it clear to ya (make it clear to ya)
This feels serious, serious
I was on the run, I wasn't committed
Now you got control, girl, I must admit it
Damn, I use to think love was just a feeling
I guess that's how it feels, when you ain't done healing and that's why
You caught me by surprise
Before I knew it, I was lost in your eyes
That type of energy is all that I'm on (on)
More than your body is turning me on (on)
That type of pressure, can't leave it alone
When I thought I had enough
I thought forever I would be alone ('lone)
But girl, you showed me that, damn it, I'm wrong (wrong)
That type of pressure, can't leave it alone
If I wanted to, I could do it, babe
'Cause it's that feeling (it's that feeling)
It's that feeling that you get when it feels serious (when it feels serious)
And it's getting serious (it's getting serious)
This is more than I want you in tonight
Feels more like I want you here for life
To make it clear to ya (make it clear to ya)
This feels serious, serious
This is more than I want you in tonight
Feels more like I want you here for life
It's getting serious
So serious
'Cause you're my type of company (my type of company...)
