Ready or not lyrics

Artist  : Jackson browne 
Song : Ready or not
 

Someone`s going to have to explain it to me
I`m not sure what it means
My baby`s feeling funny in the morning
She`s having trouble getting into her jeans
Her waist-line seems to be expanding
Although she never feels like eating a thing
I guess we`ll reach some understanding
When we see what the future will bring

I met her in a crowded barroom
One of those typical Hollywood scenes
I was doing my very best Bogart
But I was having trouble getting into her jeans
I punched an unemployed actor
Defending her dignity
He stood up and knocked me through that barroom
door
And that girl came home with me

Now baby`s feeling funny in the morning
She says she`s got a lot on her mind
Nature didn`t give her any warning
Now she`s going to have to leave her wild ways
behind
She says she doesn`t care if she never spends
Another night running loose on the town
She`s gonna be a mother
Take a look in my eyes and tell me brother
If I look like I`m ready

I told her I had always lived alone
And I probably always would
And all I wanted was my freedom
And she told me that she understood
But I let her do some of my laundry
And she slipped a few meals in between
And the next thing I remember, she was all moved
in
And I was buying her a washing machine

My baby`s feeling funny in the morning
She says she`s got a lot on her mind
Nature didn`t give her any warning
But she`s feeling better about it all the time
She says she`s ready for some meaning
After all of her running around
Well bless my soul, she`s got a rock-and-roll
bandman
Thinking `bout settling down
