Serious Lyrics by Laura Bell Bundy, Richard H. Blake

Legally Blonde the Musical (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2007

[WARNER]
We both know why we're here
I see it in your eyes
I guess it calms my fear
To know it's not a surprise
I thought one look at you
Lookin' like a dream come true
Would leave me speechless like you always do
But now we're wide awake
And we've got some plans to make
Let's take some action, baby
So baby, give me your hand
I've got some dreams to make true
I've got the future all planned
It's time to get serious
Time to get serious with you
[ELLE]
I never thought that I—
[WARNER, spoken]
Um, honey, I'm not finished
[ELLE, spoken]
Ooh! Sorry
[WARNER (ELLE)]
Since I was two or three (Mmm-hmm)
My life was planned out neat (Mmm-hmm)
I'd get my law degree (Yeah)
And then win my Senate seat (Mmm)
A big white house back east (Uh-huh)
All of the amenities (Yeah)
[WARNER, with ELLE]
Three kids at least, just like the Kennedys
[WARNER (ELLE)]
Here's where our lives begin (Our lives begin)
But just where do you fit in? (Fit me in!)
I'll break it down now, baby (Ooh, whoa)
So baby, give me your hand (Here's my hand, here's my hand)
I've got some dreams to make true (We both have dreams to make true)
I know you'll understand (Oh yes, I understand)
[BOTH]
It's time to get serious
Time to get serious with...
[WARNER (ELLE)]
Serious (Serious)
Gotta wake up and take our journey
Serious (Serious)
I'm tellin' you as a future attorney
You want the moon and sky (Ah)
Then take it, don't be shy (Okay!)
Baby, that's why you and I (You and I)
Should break up
[ELLE]
Yes, baby, I'll give you my hand—wait what!?
(spoken)
You're breaking up with me?
I thought you were proposing!
[WARNER, spoken]
Elle, if I'm gonna be a senator when I'm thirty
I'm gonna need somebody...
(sung)
Serious! Less of a Marilyn, more of a Jackie
Serious! Somebody classy and not too tacky
[ELLE, spoken]
What!?
[WARNER]
Okay, that came out wrong
[Elle sobs.]
[WARNER]
Baby, let's both be strong
[Elle sobs.]
[WARNER]
I mean, we've known all along
[ELLE, spoken]
Just shut up
What does that mean, I'm not a Jackie?
I'm not serious, but I am seriously in love with you
[WARNER]
Baby, my future's all planned
I've got some dreams to make true
I thought that you'd understand
It's time to get serious
Time to get serious
(spoken)
Check, please
