[Intro]
You used to own a couch, now you own one sock
You used to sleep past seven, now you negotiate with a clock
[Verse 1]
Tiny fist on the bedroom door, sunrise at five
No reason, no warning, just a scream to survive
My coffee got cold while I warmed up a bottle
One hand on the baby, one hand on the throttle
Of a stroller with a wheel that refuses to track
Three trips to the car ’cause I forgot something back
The house looks like a toy store suffered a raid
And every clean shirt has a mystery stain
[Pre-Chorus]
I had plans, I had money, I had somewhere to be
Now I’m googling “is this color normal?” at three
[Chorus]
Baby, you ruined my life, and I mean that with love
You took all my free time, then you asked for some more of it
Baby, you ruined my life, put the chaos on repeat
But you smile with two teeth and knock me off my feet
Yeah, you wrecked my schedule, you rearranged my brain
I’d complain a little louder if you’d sleep through the day
Baby, you ruined my life—what a beautiful crime
You made a mess of everything, and somehow made it mine
[Verse 2]
My phone is full of pictures of the top of your head
My friends send dinner plans, I send “maybe” instead
The dog looks betrayed, the laundry’s multiplying
I found a cracker in a place where no cracker should be hiding
You learned how to crawl, now the whole floor’s a mission
Every outlet in the house got a security division
I whisper in the hallway like a spy with a diaper
Then you laugh at the ceiling fan and somehow get hyper
[Pre-Chorus]
I had hobbies, had silence, had a clean pair of shoes
Now I’m wearing yesterday’s jeans and singing nursery news
[Chorus]
Baby, you ruined my life, and I mean that with love
You took all my free time, then you asked for some more of it
Baby, you ruined my life, put the chaos on repeat
But you smile with two teeth and knock me off my feet
Yeah, you wrecked my schedule, you rearranged my brain
I’d complain a little louder if you’d sleep through the day
Baby, you ruined my life—what a beautiful crime
You made a mess of everything, and somehow made it mine
[Bridge]
One day you’ll leave fingerprints on a different door
You’ll roll your eyes when I ask what you’re rushing for
And I’ll miss these little disasters, every last one
The midnight bottles, bathtub splashes, nowhere-to-run fun
So ruin the wallpaper, wake me up again
I’ll be tired, I’ll be broke, I’ll still call you my friend
[Final Chorus]
Baby, you ruined my life, and I mean that with love
You took all my free time, then you asked for some more of it
Baby, you ruined my life, put the chaos on repeat
But you smile with two teeth and knock me off my feet
Yeah, you wrecked my schedule, you rearranged my brain
I’d complain a little louder if you’d sleep through the day
Baby, you ruined my life—what a beautiful crime
You made a mess of everything, and somehow made it mine
[Outro]
Tiny fist on the bedroom door, sunrise at five
Best little disaster that ever happened to my life
