Jasmine Villegas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and he wants me to be his girlfriend now
I think we need to slow it down but he's not tryin'
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
He wants to be serious
I'm too young to be serious
I'm not ready for love, ready for love, ready for love
I don't wanna be serious
We're not ready to be serious
I'm not ready for love, love, love
With you right now
With you right now
With you right now
With you right now
He always tells me that he's in love
But my response is never enough
He says that I'm so detached
I just think it's my reaction
To move away and give us space
Doesn't mean that I don't like you
but I like to move at my own pace
I don't wanna rush
Serious
I'm too young to be serious
I'm not ready for love, love, ready for love
I don't wanna be serious
We're not ready for serious
I'm not ready for love, ready for love, ready for love
With you right now
With you right now
With you right now
With you right now
I'm way too young to be thinking of love, love, love
Let's wait a while
What are we rushing for?
Let's take our time
I can't give you more than this
I'm too young to be serious
I'm not ready to be serious
I'm not ready for love, love, ready for love
I don't want to be serious
We're not ready for serious
I'm not ready for love, ready for love, ready for love
With you right now
With you right now
With you right now
With you right now
Serious, serious
Love, love
Ready for love
With you right now
With you right now
With you right now
With you right now
The lyrics of Jasmine Villegas's "Serious" describe a situation where a guy has been expressing his desire to be in a serious romantic relationship with the singer of the song, but she is not ready for that level of commitment. The guy remembers every detail of their dates, but she forgets some of the things he remembers, and this frustrates him. The singer feels that the two of them need to slow things down, but the guy is not willing to accept that. She likes him, but she feels that she is too young to be serious about love. She tries to explain this to him, but he always tells her that he is in love with her, and her response is never enough. The singer believes that she is detached and that it is just her natural reaction, but the guy takes it personally.
The chorus repeats the theme of the song, where the singer reiterates that she is not ready for love and does not want to be serious. She tries to explain that they are not yet ready to be serious, and she cannot give him more than what she is giving him. She thinks that they should take their time and wait before getting into a serious relationship as they are both still young.
Overall, the song conveys the message that it is alright to be cautious and take things slowly when it comes to love, and that it is important to listen to one's feelings and not get into something that is not fully wanted.

He says we've been hanging out for a while
and he wants me to be his girlfriend now
I think we need to slow it down but he's not tryin'
to hear those words from my mouth
He believes we've been spending quality time together and wants us to take our relationship to the next level as a couple. However, I feel that we must take it slow, but he doesn't want to listen to the reason that I am stating.
He remembers our first date where he took me and
what we both ate
He gets mad cause sometimes I forget
can't remember the place that we met
He wants to be serious
He remembers every detail of our first appointment, what we ate, and where we went. However, sometimes, due to my other priority engagements, I forget certain things, which makes him angry as he wants to prioritize the relationship.
I'm too young to be serious
I'm not ready for love, ready for love, ready for love
I don't wanna be serious
We're not ready to be serious
I'm not ready for love, love, love
With you right now
With you right now
With you right now
With you right now
I feel I am too young to be serious or think of love. I am not yet prepared to take the responsibility for a long term relationship. I don't want to be too serious, which means we are not ready for it either now, and probably, we should wait for the right time to come.
He always tells me that he's in love
But my response is never enough
He says that I'm so detached
I just think it's my reaction
He always expresses his feeling of being in love with me, but whatever emotion or action I show, he never seems satisfied or content. He feels that I am far away from the relationship or detached, but it's just the way I react, which is different from others.
To move away and give us space
Doesn't mean that I don't like you
but I like to move at my own pace
I don't wanna rush
Serious
I'm too young to be serious
I believe taking some time off and creating some space between us isn't a sign of my lack of interest or love towards you, but it's my way of maintaining a balance, as I move at my own pace. I don't want to rush into anything such as a serious relationship because I think I am too young for it.
I'm way too young to be thinking of love, love, love
Let's wait a while
What are we rushing for?
Let's take our time
I can't give you more than this
I'm too young to be serious
I am younger than most people who think of or experience love. We should wait to know ourselves and build our attraction better. I sense no reason to rush into something like this, and we should take our own time to make our relationship bloom with the mutual trust, care, and love we share. Because of my age, I know that I cannot offer more than this to you.
Serious, serious
Love, love
Ready for love
With you right now
With you right now
With you right now
With you right now
These lines signify that although the relationship is full of genuine sentiments and emotions, it doesn't mean that we are ready for commitment now. It takes a gradual process to build up the trust, express our affection, and show our priorities, and until we do that, we cannot promise to be ready for love. Therefore, we should wait and give ourselves time as we are with each other in the moment.
