ET I take life so seriously, ID&CL&AM

I’m so serious about life
Serious about what I do
Serious about business
Serious about relationships
I feel like I need to be serious
When did I start being so serious?
I used to have a lot more fun
I’d like to have more fun now
But I have to take life seriously
Until I get things done
Then I can be lighten up
Then I can relax
I wonder when that will be?
I wonder when I’ll ever get things done?
There’s always something new to do
And I’m taking things so seriously
I want people to take me seriously
So I feel like I have to be serious
I want to lighten up
But I’m afraid I won’t be taken seriously if I do
It’s serious hard work being so serious!
I wonder if it’s possible to Lighten up!
I’m open to lightening up
Just letting go a bit
Maybe people will still take me seriously if I lighten up
Maybe they’ll enjoy me more
Maybe I’LL enjoy me more!
If I lighten up a bit
Maybe all my seriousness is attracting more seriousness
Maybe lightening up will attract more lightness
I’m going to give it a try
I’m going to just lighten up!
