I see this song as meaning that as you age life gets more complicated as you settle down but it's manageable. Stefani is in her 30s now and balancing work, marriage and parenthood but she can "get a hold on it" because she's a "rough and tough" girl. It can also mean because she's back with her original band instead of being a solo artist.
Get in line [get your ducks in a row or literally "get in line" like everyone else your age who is growing up] and settle down. You've hit your 30s so it's time to quit playing and settle down....the perfect time to get married and start a family. Grow up, settle down, make a commitment, get engaged to your girl [or guy], get married, buy a house, have a few kids, climb that corporate ladder, etc. Time to quit being a child [you had your time and now it's over] because you are definitely aging.... quit screwing around, get in line and settle down. :)
I meant for that reply to go here....
to "fartpillow" awesome name :) - Oops, typo. I know that Gwen is in her 40s. I only meant to type 30s for the 2nd paragraph. My bad. 30 is generally the "magic age" in America when people are finished with schooling, established in their careers and settling down. I'm a couple decades past 30 but kids and marriage was a slice of heaven, not a death sentence....and surprisingly it still is. I'm sorry if that hasn't been your experience. I'm extremely fortunate and realize it more and more every day....
