Ready Or Not - Jackson Browne

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
