Serious Lyrics

I was once a sailor back in 1982.
Sailed around the world inside a fiberglass canoe
Searching for the antidote that my poor heart could use.
I was only seven, but it's what I had to do.

[Chorus]
And everybody says,
You can't be serious,
You can't be serious, no!
You can't be serious,

You can't be serious, oh!'

I set out to find my girl, and, my girl, I found you.
I would do it all again just to tie your shoe.
Serious, I'm serious. Every word is true.
I would do it all again just to tie her shoe.

[Chorus]
