[Verse 1]
Girl I just want your lovin'
And that's about the only thing, only thing
You make your own way and I like it, girl
And you never want a thing from me, a thing from me

Oh baby, now that my heart is calling
We can stop playing these games, girl
And just be
Something like serious

[Chorus]
If I give myself away, tell me if you're gonna stay
Oh baby, I wanna be serious
If I give myself to you, tell me what you're gonna do
Oh baby, I wanna be serious with you

[Verse 2]
She don't need no money
And she don't need no fancy things, fancy things
Everything she need she got it
And she can even spend the money on me, alright

Girl I need you to realize
That I don't need your money and I don't wanna waste my time
'Cause I
I just need to know, oh baby
[Chorus]
If I give myself away, tell me if you're gonna stay
Oh baby, I wanna be serious
If I give myself to you, tell me what you're gonna do
Oh baby, I wanna be serious with you

[Verse 3]
Now you paid the cost to be the boss
But pretty lady, I do too
And I must admit, there is chemistry, that's easy to see
I can't think about none but you

And believe me, when I say
I do not mind that thing, as long as that kind of love
That's real
Girl I don't mind but what I need to know

[Chorus]
If I give myself away, tell me if you're gonna stay
Oh baby, I wanna be serious
If I give myself to you, tell me what you're gonna do
Oh baby, I wanna be serious with you

[Outro]
Girl I want to be
Serious with you
When are you gon' see?
And what are you gon' do?
Girl I want to be
Serious with you
When are you gon' see?
And what are you gon' do?
