Knocked Up Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't care what nobody says
We're gonna have a baby
Taking off in a Coupe de Ville
She's buckled up on navy
She don't care what her momma says
No, she gonna have my baby
Taking all that I have to take
This takings gonna shake me


[Refrain]
People call us renegades
'Cause we like living crazy
We like taking on the town
'Cause people's getting lazy

I don't care what nobody says
No, I'm gonna be her lover
Always mad and usually drunk
But I love her like no other

[Chorus 1]
And the doctor seems to say he don't know
Where we're going to go
I'm a ghost and I don't think I quite know
Where we're gonna go
Where we're gonna go
[Refrain]
People call us renegades
'Cause we like living crazy
We like taking on the town
'Cause people's getting lazy

I don't care what nobody says
No, I'm gonna be her lover
Always mad and usually drunk
But I love her like no other

[Chorus 2]
And her daddy he says he don't know
Where we're going to go
I'm a ghost and I don't think I quite know
Where we're gonna go
Where we're gonna go
Where we're gonna go
Where we're gonna go

[Intersection]
People call us renegades
(woo ohh ohh ohh)
We like taking on the town
(woo ohh ohh ohh)
I don't care if you don't care
(woo ohh ohh ohh)
[Verse 3]
I don't care what nobody says
We're gonna have a baby
Takin off in a Coupe de Ville
She's buckled up on navy
She don't care what her momma says
No, she gonna have my baby
I'm takin' all I have to take
This takings gonna shape me
(woo ohh ohh ohh)
(woo ohh ohh ohh)

What did Kings of Leon say about "Knocked Up"?
Genius Answer

Caleb Followill on the song:

That song started with the melody and it started chugging along, then the first thing that came into my head was, ”I don’t care what nobody says, we’re going to have a baby.” Everyone just looked at me in the rehearsal room and I threw my hands in the air and said, ”I don’t know what to say — it just came out.” I think the reason I talk about having a baby is because of my fear of an actual relationship. I can actually see myself having a kid before I can see myself getting married, and I know that goes against everything we were raised to believe, but the whole marriage thing… I don’t know if it really works these days, which is unfortunate. It just seems divorce is inevitable. So for me talking about having a baby in that song, it’s like the glue that might keep things together, or at least an excuse to make it last a little longer.
