Lyrics
We both know why we're here I see it in your eyes I guess, it calms my fear To know it's not a surprise
I thought one look at you Looking like a dream come true Would leave me speechless Like you always do
But now, we're wide awake We've got some plans to make Let's take some action, baby
So, baby, give me your hand I've got some dreams to make true I've got the future all planned It's time to get serious Time to get serious with you
I never thought that I Oh honey, I'm not finished Oh, sorry
Since, I was two or three My life was planned out neat I'd get my law degree, yeah And then win my senate seat
A big white house back east, oh, oh All of the amenities, yeah Three kids, at least Just like the Kennedy's
Here's where our lives begin Our lives begin Just where do you fit in? Fit me in
I'll break it down now, baby So, baby, give me your hand Oh, here's my hand, here's my hand image: http://static.urx.io/units/web/urx-unit-loader.gif I've got some dreams to make true
We both have dreams to make true I'll know that you'll understand Oh yes, I understand It's time to get serious, time to get serious with you
Serious, serious Gotta wake up and take our journey Serious, serious I'm telling you as a future attorney, oh, oh
You want the moon and sky Then take it, don't be shy, hey Baby, that's why you and I You and I should break up
Hey, baby, I'll give you my hand, we What? You're breaking up with me? I thought you were proposing
Elle, if I'm gonna be a senator when I'm thirty I'm gonna need somebody, serious Less of a Marilyn, more of a Jackie, serious Somebody classy and not too tacky
What? Okay, that came out wrong Baby, let's both be strong
I mean, we've known all along Just shut up, what does that mean I'm not a Jackie? I'm not serious? But I am seriously in love with you
Baby, my future's all planned I've got some dreams to make true I thought that you'd understand It's time to get serious, time to get serious, check this

Lyrics
All of this time I planned I'd be patient and You would love me again You'd come to respect my mind and at last you'd find You could love me again
And I have turned my whole world upside down Trying not to let you go Watching you walk away is like a fatal blow
Whoa! Is that my name up on that list? Does someone know that I exist? Is this a mistake? Am I even awake? Pinch me now to make sure
Ow! Yes, that's my name in black and white Maybe I'm doing something right Wow! I feel so much better than before
Warner, sorry I've been a pest But I guess my best was not working with you But looks like I've found a cure And I so look forward to working with you What? Working with who?
Hey, remember when we spent spring break In the hot tub every night We said nothing else could ever feel so right Well, this might!
Seeing my name up on that list That beats the first time that we kissed You thought I was dumb But I think that somebody's judgment was poor
Seeing my name in black and white It's like making love with you all night No wait, it feel so much better, hello, much better It's oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, much better 'Cause I am so much better than before image: http://static.urx.io/units/web/urx-unit-loader.gif
Yes, she's so much better than before Yes, she's so much better than before
Maybe she's what you prefer But hey, last year I was her Maybe you will change your mind But you might look up to find
I've gone on to better things Better jobs or bigger rings I don't have the time to cry
I'm too busy loving my name up on that list Kind of a cool, ironic twist Who else can I tell? Hoo! Wait, where's my cell? Mom will fall on the floor
Hey mom! Look at my name in black and white Your daughter's doing something right I feel so much better
I'll be there on Monday, 9 o'clock And we will see who walks the walk No, no, I can't wait, I will be there at 8 When they unlock the door
Oh, oh! I'll even dress in black and white See, I have not begun to fight And you'll go, oh, much better and oh, much better And soon all y'all gotta know much better
I am so much better I am so much better I am so much better than before!
