Lyrics
Well I'm a pregnant woman I've got a baby on board
Yeah I'm a pregnant woman My size can't be ignored
Well, I don't like to be a cynic
But I think I could open a weight-gain clinic
I'm a pregnant woman I've got a baby on board
I'm a pregnant woman sometimes as sweet as can be
Yeah, I'm a pregnant woman But don't mess with me
My body is swollen, my hormones are raging
I bounce between aggravated and engaging
Yeah, I'm a pregnant woman, don't mess with me
Well, I'm tired all the time, maybe it's iron poor blood
Yeah I'm tired all the time, I feel like a dud
I've got backaches, heartburn, varicose veins
Shortness of breath, and assorted pains
Yeah I'm tired all the time I feel like a dud.
Well, I'm a pregnant woman I got the Baby-on-Board blues
Yeah, I'm a pregnant woman I got the Baby-on-Board blues
Oh......
