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 lyrics of Glen Glenn's song Sick And Tired express frustration with a partner who is lazy and unproductive. The singer of the song wakes up in the morning and takes care of their partner's basic needs before heading off to work. When they return home, their partner is still in bed with a rag tied around their head – a sign of sickness or exhaustion. The singer is fed up with this behavior and warns their partner that they need to change their ways or they will be kicked to the curb.
The repetition of the line "Oh baby, whatcha gonna do" throughout the song emphasizes the singer's exasperation with their partner's behavior. The verse where the singer tells their partner they better change their ways and stop their jive is particularly powerful, as it warns that there will be consequences if the partner doesn't shape up.
Overall, Sick And Tired is a lament for a relationship gone awry due to one person's unwillingness to contribute to the partnership. It's a relatable theme that many people have experienced in their own lives.
