[Verse 1]
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, to take a step closer babe
I can see it in your eyes, that I hurt you
And I know that sometimes, I can be poisonous
But I feel the time is right for us to get serious

[Hook]
Serious, I'm ready
Come on love me now
Come on love me now
Serious, yes I'm ready
Come on love me now
Come on love me now

[Verse 2]
And I can see you working so hard
And it ain't easy
Just trying to stay on top make all those ends mean
But we're in this together now
And don't you forget it
Think of all the plans we made
You don't need to be afraid

[Hook]
Yes I'm ready, to get serious
Come on love me now
Come on love me now
Serious, yes I'm ready
Come on love me now
Come on love me now
[Break]

[Verse 3]
Feeling all good, much older today
Yes I'm feeling that time is slipping away on you
There's a fear and it grows, grows inside
Yes it takes its toll
A feel that you could have done much better in your life
And now I understand we're just doing the best we can
I'm all the way with you, yes I'm all the way with you

[Hook]
I'm ready, to get serious
Come on love me now
Come on love me now
Serious, yes I'm ready
Come on love me now
Come on love me now
