Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh baby, whatcha gonna do
I'm sick and tired of foolin' around with you
Wake up in the mornin' fix you somethin' to eat,
'fore I go to work I even brush your teeth
Get home in the evenin' and you're still in bed
Got yourself a rag tied 'round you're head.
Oh baby, whatcha gonna do
I'm sick and tired of foolin' around with you
I'm tellin' you baby you'd better change your ways
I'm tellin' you baby I mean what I say
Last time tellin you to stop that jive
Gonna find yourself outside
Oh baby, whatcha gonna do
I'm sick and tired of foolin' around with you
Last time tellin' you baby you'd better change your ways
Last time tellin' you baby I mean what I say
Last time tellin you to stop that jive
Gonna find yourself outside
Oh baby, whatcha gonna do
I'm sick and tired of foolin' around with you
The song "Sick and Tired" by Danko Fjeld Andersen features lyrics that speak of a relationship that has reached its tipping point. The singer expresses frustration with their partner's lack of motivation and apparent laziness, as evidenced by the lines "Wake up in the mornin' fix you somethin' to eat, 'fore I go to work I even brush your teeth / Get home in the evenin' and you're still in bed / Got yourself a rag tied 'round you're head." Despite the singer's attempts to communicate their dissatisfaction and desire for change, their partner continues to neglect their responsibilities, prompting the repeated refrain of "Oh baby, whatcha gonna do / I'm sick and tired of foolin' around with you."
The lyrics suggest that the singer has reached their breaking point and is prepared to end the relationship if their partner does not take action. The lines "Last time tellin you baby you'd better change your ways / Last time tellin' you baby I mean what I say / Last time tellin you to stop that jive / Gonna find yourself outside" convey a sense of finality and ultimatum, indicating that the singer is no longer willing to tolerate their partner's behavior.
