Ready or Not Lyrics
Someone's gonna 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 jeansHer 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 bringI 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 jeansI punched an unemployed actor
Defending her dignity
Well, he stood up and knocked me through that barroom door
And that girl came home with meNow 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 gonna have to leave her wild ways behindShe 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 readyI 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 understoodBut 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 machineMy 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 feelin' better about it all the timeShe says she's ready for some meaning
After all of her running around
Bless my soul, she's got a rock and roll band man
Thinkin' 'bout settling down
Bless my soul, she's got a rock and roll band man
Thinkin' 'bout settling down
