Serious As A Heart Attack Lyrics

I ran into an old friend down in Murphy's
Hadn't seen him since sometime last fall
He said, "Man, I hear you've been seeing somebody
Heck, I hardly see you at all"
I said, "I know, man I found the one
I really think she might be my wife"
He said, "Not again you can't be serious"
Then I looked him dead in the eye

And said, I'm serious as a heart attack
My heart's beating right out my chest now
I never felt this way before
No one comes close to her smile
I'm serious as a heart attack
I'd give anything to make this last
I've never been this sure before
I'm one knee from wanting more
I'm serious

He laughed and said, "Well, I'll be damned
Never thought I'd see you settle down"
I reached in my pocket and pulled out a ring
And said, "I bet you think I'm serious now"

I'm serious as a heart attack
My heart's beating right out my chest now
I never felt this way before
No one comes close to her smile
I'm serious as a heart attack
I'd give anything to make this last
I've never been this sure before
I'm one knee from on the floor
I'm serious

Dead serious
Oh, I'm serious

Three months later, he stood beside me
While she walked down that aisle
He leaned over my shoulder and said
"I guess you weren't playing around"

I'm serious as a heart attack
My heart's beating right out my chest
I've never felt this way before
No one comes close to her smile
I'm serious as a heart attack
I'd give anything to make this last

I've never been this sure before
I'm one "Yes" from forever more
