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?
Ooh - doesn't have to be serious
Ooh - doesn't have to be serious
(serious)
Doesn't have to be serious
Doesn't have to be serious

Oh baby you get so wild, Mmm too much understanding
Oh baby you're such a child, put up with all the tears and cryin'
Don't worry if you're confused, we all tend to be sometimes
The whole world is getting used, its just the way it is...
Maybe right, Oh, but maybe wrong
Doesn't have to be serious, being hard isn't being strong
Doesn't have to be serious, fighting for love, fighting for pain
Ooh doesn't have to be serious, and if you win, oh what do you gain?
Doesn't have to be serious..
Ooh, doesn't have to be serious maybe right, Ooh, but maybe wrong
Ohh doesn't have to be serious, fighting for love, fighting for pain
Ooh doesn't have to be serious, and if you win, oh what do you gain?
Ooh doesn't have to be serious, maybe right, oh but maybe wrong
Doesn't have to be serious, being hard, isn't being strong
Doesn't have to be serious, fighting for love, fighting for pain
Ohh doesn't have to be serious and if you win...
