Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm sick of you and there ain't no way
Don't want to know, don't want to see
Don't you ever bother me
Sick of hanging around your pad
Sick of your Mom and sick of your Dad
Yes and Betsy, it's sad but true
No way, no way, no way
No way, no way, no way
No way for our love
No way for our love
'Cause I'm sick of you
Good bye, Betsy, I'm going away
I'm sick of you and I don't wanna stay
Don't want to know, don't want to see
Don't you ever bother me
Sick of hanging in around your pad
Sick of your mom and sick of your dad
Yes and Betsy it's sad but true
Now I'm even sick of you
No way, no way, no way
No way, no way, no way
No way for our love
No way for our love
Every evening and every day
Seem to always turn out this way
To get an end, I better find new love
Then you'll pay, then you'll pay, ain't no way
'Cause I'm sick of you
Goodbye, Betsy, I'm going away
I'm sick of you and I don't wanna stay
Don't want to know, don't want to see
Don't you ever bother me
The lyrics of Iggy Pop's song "I'm Sick of You" overtly express the singer's frustration with Betsy, his girlfriend. He is making it clear to her that he is done with the relationship, and there is no way to salvage it. Through his constant repetition of "No way for our love," he emphasizes that their love is past the point of redemption. In the opening lines, he says, "I'm sick of you, and there ain't no way/Don't want to know, don't want to see/Don't you ever bother me." These lines demonstrate that the singer has reached a point of indifference towards Betsy, and he just wants to move on.
In the second verse, he further expresses his dissatisfaction with Betsy by stating, "Sick of hanging around your pad/Sick of your Mom and sick of your dad/Yes, and Betsy, it's sad but true/Now I'm even sick of you." Here, he not only expresses his rejection of Betsy but also mentions the detachment he feels towards her family. In the final verse, the singer decides to move on to find new love and leave Betsy alone to face the consequences of her actions.

Cymbal work makes the intro.

Just the right amount of tremolo... one has to wonder if there wasn't a revolving cabinet involved in the recording? Maybe one of those Yamaha amps that Pink Floyd made famous.. Yamaha ra 200 if you can find one? They are in high demand.. despite all the digital mimicry
