Serious
Jasmine V Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He says we been hanging out for awhile
And wants me to be his girlfriend now,
I think that we need to slow it down,
But hes not trying to hear those words from my mouth
He remembers our first date
Where he took me and what we both ate ,
He gets mad cause sometimes i forget
Cant remember the place that we met.

He wants to be serious,
I'm to young to be serious,
I'm not ready for love, love , love.
I don't want to be serious
Im not ready for serious.
I'm not ready for love, ready for love , ready for love
With chu right now, with chu right now, with chu right now, with chu right now.

He always tells me that hes in love
But my response is never enough
Hes says i'm so detached
I just think that its my reaction
To move away and give it space
Doesn't mean i don't like you
But i like to move at my own pace (
I don't wanna rush)

He wants to be serious

I'm to young to be serious
I'm not ready for love, love, love,
Ready for love
I dont want to be serious we're not ready for serious (nooo)
Im not ready for love ready for love ready for love
With chu right now
With chu right now
With chu right now
With chu right now.

Im way too young to be thinking of love, love, love.
Lets wait awhile what are we rushing for
Lets take our time
I cant give you more than this
I'm to young to be serious
Im not ready for love ready for love, love , love.
I dont want to be serious
We're not ready for serious(noo)
Im not ready for love, ready for love, redy for love
With chu right now,
With chu right now,
With chu right now,




With chu right now.
Serious, serious, love(love), love, ready for love with chu right now(serious), with chu right now, with chu right now, with chu right now.
