O, Baby blankets and baby shoes, baby slippers, baby spoons, walls of baby blue
Dream child in my head is a nightmare born in a borrowed bed 
Now I know lightning strikes again 
It struck me once, then struck me dead 
My folly grows inside of me 
I eat for two, walk for two, breathe for two now 

Well, the egg man fell down off his shelf 
All the good king's men with all their help struggled 'til the end for a shell they couldn't mend 
You know where this will lead, to hush and rock in the nursery for the kicking one inside of me 
I eat for two, walk for two, breathe for two now 

When the boy was a boy, the girl was a girl, they found each other in a wicked world 
Strong in some respects, but she couldn't stand for the way he begged and gave in 
Pride is for men; young girls should run and hide instead 
Risk the game by taking dares with "yes" 
Eat for two, walk for two, breathe for two now 

Walk for two? I'm stumbling 
Breathe for two? I can't breathe 
Five months, how it grows 
Five months now, I begin to show
