LET'S GET SERIOUS
(Stevie Wonder / Lee Garrett)
Jermaine Jackson - 1979


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!
Now my life is filled with nothing less
Than your sweet love, care, and tenderness.

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.

Call my name and I lose all self control!
Touch my hand, and I feel it deep down in my soul.
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, yeahhhhhhhhh! Aaow!

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 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!

Just the thought of us together, we'd cement our love forever.
Let's get serious and fall in love!
Once we start there'll be no quitting, with the love that we'll be getting.
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!

S-E-R-I-O-U-S, baby, let's get serious!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahhhhhhhhh! Aaow!

The night is young,  but not quite too young for you and me.
Let's be one---be one!---going places that we want to see.
Let our bodies travel with our minds
To a place where love will always shine!

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!

Both of us feel like a scalding, 'cause it's just too hot for holding!
Let's get serious and fall in love!
Girl, you've got my body moaning; just believe when I start calling!
Let's get serious and fall in love!
Serious, serious,
Let's get serious and fall in love!
