Mr. Wanker Man
Joss Stone Lyrics

Mr Mr
Addressing Mr. Wankerman.

Mr do you hear me
Asking Mr. Wankerman if he can hear me.

Mr. Wankerman
Addressing Mr. Wankerman.

I get so tired
Expressing exasperation and fatigue with Mr. Wankerman's behavior.

Of your shit yes I do
Clarifying specifically what it is that I'm tired of dealing with.

You got no respect no no
Pointing out Mr. Wankerman's poor treatment of me.

You're selfish yes you are, yes you are, yes you are
Accusing Mr. Wankerman of putting his own wants and needs before mine, without regard for how it affects me.

I've been checking my clock
Noting the time, and indicating that I'm waiting for Mr. Wankerman to take some sort of action.

Wouldn't it be worth a lot
Suggesting that it would be valuable to me if Mr. Wankerman would follow through on his promises.

If you would just call me boy
Specifying the behavior that I'm hoping Mr. Wankerman will engage in.

We've been talking a lot
Referencing previous discussions or negotiations between me and Mr. Wankerman.

Saying it'd be worth a shot
Recalling the conversation we had where we both agreed to try to make things work out between us.

Saying that you want to fall
Referring to the fact that Mr. Wankerman had implied that he was willing to fall in love with me.

Wouldn't it be nice if you would turn up
Posing a rhetorical question that suggests it would be appreciated if Mr. Wankerman would show up for me in some way.

Maybe once or twice you'd pick the phone up
Offering an example of what it would look like if Mr. Wankerman would actually follow through on his commitments.

Shout it to my heart to know you won't be true
Expressing my doubts and fears that Mr. Wankerman might not be a trustworthy or reliable partner after all.

I keep hoping that I'll sober
Admitting that I might be clinging to the hope that things will get better, even though I know it's unlikely.

Maybe realize it's over
Entertaining the possibility that this relationship is doomed and that it might be time to move on.

Will I ever see a change in you
Wondering aloud whether Mr. Wankerman is capable of changing his ways and being a better partner.

You got no respect no
Reiterating Mr. Wankerman's lack of respect for me.

Ain't got enough mistakes
Noting that I'm running out of patience with Mr. Wankerman's repeated transgressions.

On my page for it all
Metaphorically representing our relationship like a book, and acknowledging how much has already transpired between us.

You got me fucked
Expressing feelings of confusion, frustration, and helplessness about the current state of the relationship.

There was a time when I cried
Reflecting on how hard it used to be for me to deal with Mr. Wankerman's behavior.

Now I don't care at all
Describing a shift in my attitude towards Mr. Wankerman from one of emotional investment to one of detachment.

Now I'm just bored
Acknowledging that my current state of mind around Mr. Wankerman is one of disinterest and ennui, rather than passion or excitement.

See its the same of something stupid
Indicating that the current situation is starting to feel like a foolish, fruitless endeavor.

Had a falling out with cupid
Referencing the fact that my trust in relationships may have been shaken, and that my faith in romantic love has been damaged.

Told me fairy tales of someone with a heart
Indicating that I was perhaps too naive and idealistic in my previous beliefs about what love should be like.

My prince charming took a wrong turn
Remarking on how my initial vision of a perfect partner ended up being flawed or inaccurate.

When it sings and never came over
Referencing some memory or experience where Mr. Wankerman didn't follow through on his promises.

Will you smile & laugh when you're alone
Wondering if Mr. Wankerman is even capable of feeling remorse, or if he's simply amused by his own antics.

You're Mr. Wankerman
Reminding Mr. Wankerman of the person he is and the behavior he's exhibited.

I'm gonna, I'm gonna let my band tell you something worth thinking about
Announcing that I'm about to convey an important message to Mr. Wankerman through my music.

Tell him for me, tell him for me now
Asking my band members to take over and deliver the message.

We all tired
Enlisting the support of my bandmates, and expressing that they too are fed up with Mr. Wankerman's behavior.

Every single one of us here
Emphasizing that it's not just me who has a problem with Mr. Wankerman - it's everyone around me.

Mr. Wankerman
Addressing Mr. Wankerman again.

Along with everything else baby
Bringing up all the other issues and problems that have contributed to our relationship's downfall.

Mr. Wankerman you got no respect for your lady and you're selfish
Reiterating the main criticisms of Mr. Wankerman's personality and behavior.

Yeah, yeah
Expressing agreement or affirmation.

You a wankerman
Reiterating that Mr. Wankerman is indeed a 'wanker'.

I put up with your shit for such a long time
Admitting that I've been dealing with Mr. Wankerman's behavior for longer than I should have.

I'm not gonna take no more
Announcing that I'm finally done tolerating Mr. Wankerman's bad behavior.

Can't you see that I'm tired love
Expressing exhaustion and depletion due to Mr. Wankerman's behavior.

I even had to, I had to write song about it
Using music as a way to express my frustrations and communicate my feelings to Mr. Wankerman.

It's ridiculous yeah
Admitting that the situation is absurd or foolish.

To get you off my chest
Saying that the song serves as a way to 'vent' or release pent-up emotions about Mr. Wankerman.

Out of my head
Suggesting that another function of the song is to help me move on from this relationship by replacing thoughts of Mr. Wankerman with other things.

Out of my life for good baby
Indicating that the song marks the end of our relationship, and that I'm moving on for good.

'Cause you're just a silly little Wankerman
Using humor to take some of the edge off of my negative feelings towards Mr. Wankerman.

Not worth it
Expressing my belief that it's not worth my time and energy to be in a relationship with Mr. Wankerman.

Thank you for dusty love, she's really cute
Acknowledging that some good came out of the relationship in the form of a beloved pet.

And thank you for the lyrics love, they really helped me out
Thanking Mr. Wankerman for providing the inspiration for this song (while also implying that the song is not a positive portrayal of him).

Thank you for growing me up
Recognizing that even though the relationship was difficult, it taught me important lessons about myself and what I want in a partner.

I lost a lot of trust with you
Referencing the fact that Mr. Wankerman's behavior has damaged our relationship irreparably.

But I'm wiser for it, yes I am
Acknowledging that even though the relationship was painful, it ultimately made me a stronger and more resilient person.

Now you can go on boy
Giving Mr. Wankerman permission to leave my life and move on from our relationship.

Don't turn around, just keep walking
Suggesting that there's nothing left to say, and that Mr. Wankerman should simply exit my life for good.

He's such a twat
Using derogatory language to describe Mr. Wankerman.

Did anybody see War of the Worlds?
Seemingly changing the subject entirely, perhaps indicating that the message in the song is now complete or that I'm ready to move on to something else.
