Serious About You

Saw a shooting star from a rumbling car;
Started wondering how and where you are
Wish I may, wish I might, wish I was with you tonight
I tell myself just go to sleep;
Crime doesn’t pay, but the bargain’s not cheap
Campfire embers burn like city lights
Twelve-bar tenders get the blues at night
And I’m serious about you, serious about you
I’m serious about you, now I’m serious about you
Inside a cab, two old men
Writing letters they’ll never send
Another road, another night, another string of Christmas lights
And I’m serious about you, yeah, hey, hey, serious about you
I’m serious about you, Hey, I’m serious about you
Fireworks, fire works against you
Slow-burning candles in the night
Fireworks, fire works within you, oh
Serious about you
Hey, I’m serious about you
I lost my change in a telephone
I called for you, but your machine was on
I said I loved you, said I cared
Said, «I wish I was with you there.»
Said I’m serious about you, yeah, hey, hey, I’m serious about you
I’m serious about you
Hey, I’m serious about you, serious about you
Yeah, I’m crazy 'bout you
