Think I'm Gonna Have A Baby
Lyrics & Music by Carly Simon

Platform shoes on table tops
I think I'm gonna be a lady
Opinions flyin' right and left
I think I'm gonna tell them maybe
They're puttin' out too many phonograph records
I think I'm gonna have a baby, a baby

I wouldn't be naughty for the sake of naught
Or be different just to differ
I wouldn't sell myself just to get bought
Or give just to deliver
They're puttin' out too many phonograph records
I think I want to be a river, be a river...

Rivers do such nice things, they roll to the sea
When I am a river then I'll want to listen to me
They're puttin' out too many phonograph records
I think I want to be a river

So you pick me up, and you tune me up
And you wind me up and play me
You talk about heart
And you say you know soul
And the way to treat a lady
You're puttin' out too many phonograph records
I think I'm gonna have a baby, have a baby

Babies do such nice things, they rock on your knee
When I was a baby my rockin' was something to see
