Put your hands in the air
If you sometimes ever get sad like me
Put your fingers on your chest
And your body and breathe, let it be
Don't find it hard to say so
I'll say it, "I get lonely"
Put your hands in the air
If you sometimes ever get sad like me
Sad like me
Wait patiently
And you're gonna be free
Wait patiently
I get so serious sometimes
My emotions sittin' on a wire
And I gotta be out my mind
'Cause the second that I'm happy and I'm fine
Suddenly there's violins and movie scenes and
Crying rivers in the streets
And God, I don't know why I get so serious sometimes
(So serious) so serious sometimes
I remember last summer in the city
Making plans and you felt like mine
Look at me and I felt so Hollywood
Baby, then you changed your mind
I got so - close to feeling so good
So satisfied
I remember last summer in the city
Making plans and you felt like mine
Felt like mine
Then I froze in time
You changed your mind
And I'll never know why
I get so serious sometimes
My emotions sittin' on a wire
And I gotta be out my mind
'Cause the second that I'm happy and I'm fine
Suddenly there's violins and movie scenes and
Crying rivers in the streets
And God, I don't know why I get so serious
I get so, oh-oh
Oh-oh
Violins and movie scenes and
Crying rivers in the streets
And God, I don't know why I get serious sometimes
(So serious)
(So serious) sometimes
So serious sometimes
