Jackson Browne lyrics : "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
