John Mellencamp - Serious Business lyrics

serious business You ain't goin' nowhere Gonna sit by this pool until you fall in Didn't know what you were getting into When you walked into this room Did you, kid? We got some girls over here We got some boys over there And they're here just for your fun So have some dinner, baby Play some records Just remember one thing, son Chorus This is serious business Sex and violence and rock and roll This is serious business Sex and violence and rock and roll You know my head is sweating I can't dance and i can't relax Outside is too threatening now I've come this far and i can't go back Call up some old friends Call up some strangers Get me used to that french telephone Donna donna, educate me But tell those girls that i'm not alone Chorus Bridge Take my life and take my soul Put me on the cross for all to see Put my name around my neck Let those people throw stones at me This is serious business Sex and violence and rock and roll
