Serious Lyrics

Oh woman you make me feel like I'm on fire
Oh woman you make it real it's the only way for me
So if we sometimes fight doesn't mean we got problems
Ain't always black and white who cares anyway

Ooo doesn't have to be serious ooo doesn't have to be serious
Serious ooo doesn't have to be serious ooo doesn't have to be serious

Oh baby you get so wild mmm too much understanding
Oh baby you're such a child full up on love and tears and crying
Don't worry if you're confused we all tend to be sometimes
The whole world is getting used it's just the way it is

Maybe right ooo it maybe wrong doesn't have to be serious
Being hurt isn't being strong doesn't have to be serious
Fighting for love fighting for pain ooo doesn't have to be serious
And if you win ooo what do you gain doesn't have to be serious

Ooo doesn't have to be serious maybe right ooo it maybe wrong
Ooo doesn't have to be serious
Fighting for love fighing ooo doesn't have to be serious
And if you win ooo what do you gain ooo doesn't have to be serious
Maybe right ooo it maybe wrong ooo doesn't have to be serious
Feeling hurt isn't being strong ooo doesn't have to be serious
Fighting for love fighting for pain ooo doesn't have to be serious
And if you win ooo what do you gain ooo doesn't have to be serious

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I love this song. No comments for it. Figures. The lack of DD fans is very distressing.

love their songs and recently caught the show in april 05 in toronto.. simon's writing at times leaves you thinking wt... but then other's are obvious, perhaps this is why there is not much feedback. Could always go to their website, you'll find lots of fans there.
