Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
he lives uptown
when i want him he's never around
he's a mean mean man
he's a mean mean man
he's a mean mean man but i love him all i can
now he calls up and wants a date at 8
he's never on time he's always late
he's a mean mean man
he's a mean mean man but i love him all i can
now we go to a dance, he holds me tight
but he don't even kiss me goodnight
he's a mean mean man
he's a mean mean man
he's a mean mean man but i love him all i can
i know i'm a fool to love that man
but i'm gonna love him as long as i can
he's a mean mean man
he's a mean mean man
he's a mean mean man but i love him all i can
Jackson Wanda's song Mean Mean Man is about a woman who is in love with a man who is mean to her. She loves him even though he's never around when she wants him and he's always late. He's also mean to her when they go out to dance and holds her tightly but doesn't even kiss her goodnight. Despite all of his flaws, the woman is still in love with him and will continue to love him for as long as she can, even though she knows she's a fool to do so.
The song portrays the deep emotions that can be associated with a difficult relationship. The woman is in love with this man despite the fact that he treats her badly. Her love for him is so strong that she is willing to overlook his flaws and continues to stay with him. It's almost as if her love for him has blinded her to his faults.
Overall, Mean Mean Man is a relatable song that talks about the struggle to leave a bad relationship. It's a commentary on how people can become so entangled in their emotions that they are willing to stay in a relationship that is obviously bad for them.
