You've Impregnated Me

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left your jacket on the kitchen chair A half-read book and a life that was fair Now there’s a crib in the room you called yours And tiny socks by the front door You count the bills, you stare at the wall I bite my lip trying not to laugh at it all You wanted easy, you wanted no ties Now there’s a brand-new world in your eyes [Pre-Chorus] You say your plans are gone, your weekends are through I say, “Look what a little love can do” You’re pale as paper, I’m grinning wide We’re both along for the same wild ride [Chorus] You’ve impregnated me And your old life’s gone, baby, can’t you see? You’re wrecked, you’re scared, your plans are in the sea And I’m so happy, so happy You’ve impregnated me Now every road leads to a family You say you’re ruined; I say, “Wait and see” I’m so happy, so happy [Verse 2] You sold the speakers, cleared out the den You swore you’d never do this again Now you’re reading names from a paper list And practicing how to hold a wrist Your buddies call, you let it ring You’re learning what a diaper brings You make that face when I say “car seat” But still you check if the latch is neat [Pre-Chorus] You say your plans are gone, your weekends are through I say, “Look what a little love can do” You’re pale as paper, I’m grinning wide We’re both along for the same wild ride [Chorus] You’ve impregnated me And your old life’s gone, baby, can’t you see? You’re wrecked, you’re scared, your plans are in the sea And I’m so happy, so happy You’ve impregnated me Now every road leads to a family You say you’re ruined; I say, “Wait and see” I’m so happy, so happy [Bridge] Maybe tomorrow you’ll miss sleeping in Maybe I’ll laugh when the crying begins We’ll trade the panic for something sincere A small hand reaching, and you’ll be right here You can complain, you can shake your head Then you’ll kiss that little forehead instead [Final Chorus] You’ve impregnated me And your old life’s gone, baby, can’t you see? You’re wrecked, you’re scared, your plans are in the sea And I’m so happy, so happy You’ve impregnated me Now every road leads to a family You say you’re ruined; I say, “Wait and see” I’m so happy, so happy [Outro] You’re so doomed, you say, but you’re holding on I’m laughing softly as the night rolls on You’ve impregnated me And I’m so happy
