What I gotta do, what I gotta say
To make you say I'm true to you
Checking where my cash goes, calling all my friends
But you won't ever sign a proof
No trust, messed up, you can't hide green eyes
I'm done with pleading innocence when I never broke the rule
Boy, you gotta meet me halfway home
We're still together when you're on your own
And it's hurting that there's no believing
Crazy if you think I'm not serious
Raise your faith in us
Why'd you hold me in chains when I ain't cheating your heart
Give it up, got to loosen up
Cause I'll never stray
Hear your loud pressure and I'm feeling the strain
Lose your grip, I ain't running away
Now let me tell you, this love is serious
This is serious, it's forever
I wanna turn the clock back, try to start anew
Remember how it used to be
Before you got the notion
That I might be cruel to you
Did someone hurt you so bad
That you would think I'm out to attack
What hit you in the past ain't gonna strike again
I swear to you
Boy, you gotta meet me halfway home
We're still together when you're on your own

And it's hurting that there's no believing
Crazy if you think I'm not serious
Raise your faith in us
Why'd you hold me in chains when I ain't cheating your heart
Give it up, got to loosen up
Cause I'll never stray
Hear your loud pressure and I'm feeling the strain
Lose your grip, I ain't running away
Now let me tell you, this love is serious
This is serious, it's forever
But you keep calling me, calling me
Wanting to know every move I make
This ain't right
But I keep telling you, telling you
That there ain't nobody else but you
In my life
And so you shadow me, follow me
Be there every turn I take
I can breathe
If you don't hear this now
Then what's it gonna take?
Crazy if you think I'm out to attack
Crazy if you think I'm not serious
Raise your faith in us
Why'd you hold me in chains when I ain't cheating your heart
Give it up, got to loosen up
Cause I'll never stray
Hear your loud pressure and I'm feeling the strain
Lose your grip, I ain't running away
Now let me tell you, this love is serious
This is serious, it's forever
Crazy if you think I'm not serious
Raise your faith in us
Why'd you hold me in chains when I ain't cheating your heart
Give it up, got to loosen up
Cause I'll never stray
Hear your loud pressure and I'm feeling the strain
Lose your grip, I ain't running away
Now let me tell you, this love is serious
This is serious
