Someone's gonna have to explain it to me, I'm not sure what it means

My baby's feelin' funny in the morning
             E               B          A
She's havin' trouble gettin' into her jeans
    E
Her waistline seems to be expanding
             A                           E
Although she never feels like eating a thing
  A                           E        C#m
I guess we'll reach some understanding

When we see what the future will bring

  E                                          A                    E
I met her in a crowded barroom, one of those typical Hollywood scenes
      A                  E
I was doin' my very best Bogart
C#m              E               B          A
And I was havin' trouble gettin' into her jeans
  E                             A                 E
I punched an unemployed actor defending her dignity
     A                                       E       C#m
Well he stood up and knocked me through that barroom door
         E         B          A
But that girl came home with me

    A                           E
Now baby's feelin' funny in the morning
    C#m                           E
She says she's got a lot on her mind 
A                          E
Nature didn't give her any warning
                F#                            B
Now she's gonna have to leave her wild ways behind
    A                            E
She says she doesn't care if she never spends
        A                             E
Another night runnin' loose on the town, she's gonna be a mother
A                     E               C#m           E             B     A
  Take a look in my eyes and tell me, brother, if I look like I'm ready


Break

  E                                       A                 E
I told her I had always lived alone and I probably always would
    A                    E      C#m          E              B       A
And all I wanted was my freedom,   and she told me that she understood
      E                                      A                           E
But I let her do some of my laundry, and she slipped a few meals in-between
    A                             E          C#m
The next thing I remember she was all moved in
          E            B           A
And I was buying her a washing machine

    A                           E
Now baby's feelin' funny in the morning

She says she's got a lot on her mind 
A                          E
Nature didn't give her any warning
                  F#                      B
But she's feelin' better about it all the time
    A                         E             A                     E
She says she's ready for some meaning after all of her running around
A                               E             C#m
Well bless my soul, she's got a rock and roll band man
E              B          A
Thinkin' 'bout settling down
