Lyrics:
Oh, woman you make me feel, like I'm on fire
Oh, woman you make it real, it's the only way for me
So, if we sometimes fight, doesn't mean we got problems
Ain't always black and white, who cares anyway?
Ooh - doesn't have to be serious
Ooh - doesn't have to be serious
(serious)
Doesn't have to be serious
Doesn't have to be serious
Oh baby you get so wild, Mmm too much understanding
Oh baby you're such a child, put up with all the tears and cryin'
Don't worry if you're confused, we all tend to be sometimes
The whole world is getting used, its just the way it is...
Maybe right, Oh, but maybe wrong
Doesn't have to be serious, being hard isn't being strong
Doesn't have to be serious, fighting for love, fighting for pain
Ooh doesn't have to be serious, and if you win, oh what do you gain?
Doesn't have to be serious..
Ooh, doesn't have to be serious maybe right, Ooh, but maybe wrong
Ohh doesn't have to be serious, fighting for love, fighting for pain
Ooh doesn't have to be serious, and if you win, oh what do you gain?
Ooh doesn't have to be serious, maybe right, oh but maybe wrong
Doesn't have to be serious, being hard, isn't being strong
Doesn't have to be serious, fighting for love, fighting for pain
Ohh doesn't have to be serious and if you win...

I think true Duran Duran fans are the only ones that appreciate this exact song….underrated is so true!! It’s my fav! All about how relationships struggle…you fight you cry…nothing is black and white so why be so serious??? Enjoy it, doesn’t matter who wins…or how tough you are…if you have love, why make matters so serious all the time❤️

The Liberty album was ignored after "Big Thing" in '88. They came back stronger than ever with the wedding album in '93. I've been trying to track down Sterling's bass drum head of the screaming girl...not the original, but maybe a copy to put on my wall.

This is also one of my favorite DD tunes. I think this song sort of served as a bridge between their classic 80's sound and what was to come in the 90's. You could also tell that they were definitely aging at this point and gravitating towards a more mature style.
Happy Duran Duran Appreciation Day!❤
I was 17/18 when this song came out..1990.... Levi's jeans on... cool shoes.. a denim jacket.. a nice shirt ... gel on my hair... and my friends waiting at the corner to start the night away... what a way to start a new decade.. 1990! what a song! still love it! even more..

Undeniably one of their best songs but made no impact on the charts. From biggest band in the world to zero at the turn of the nineties and then back again in style with Ordinary World in 1993 after being written off. A band with talent to burn never given the credit deserved as musicians and song writers. The fact they kept going despite a fickle public shows the music mattered. Serious sounds tremendous even 24 years later just as I thought it always would in the hot summer of 1990.

This song is a jewell, from 1990. Its incredible after 34 years, it´s still so fresh out of time: This songs describes the very nature of a man-woman love relationship. Cause believe me guys, loving a woman, is an emotional rollercoaster.
I got this album from my best girlfriend to 18th birthday. She gave a party (for her birthday two days later) and we played this record all the evening. There I met my husband for the first time. We talked for a while and I thought:" This doesn´t have to be serious!" Now - 25 years later we are still together - it got really serious ;-))) Thx DD for the soundtrack of my life love!
