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 & Tired" by Neville Grant is a bluesy tune that tells the story of a man who is fed up with his partner's lack of initiative and effort in their relationship. The repeated line "Oh baby, whatcha gonna do" emphasizes the man's frustration and his desire for his partner to take action to improve their situation. He describes how he wakes up in the morning and takes care of her needs, even brushing her teeth, before going to work, only to come home in the evening to find her still in bed with a rag tied around her head. This image paints a picture of laziness and apathy, which further fuels the man's anger and resentment.
The chorus, "I'm sick and tired of foolin' around with you," highlights the man's exhaustion with the status quo and his longing for change. He implores his partner to change her ways, warning her that she will find herself outside if she doesn't. These lyrics show that the man has reached his breaking point and is willing to take action to set boundaries and demand accountability from his partner.
In summary, "Sick & Tired" is a song about a relationship that has reached its breaking point due to one partner's lack of effort and initiative. The man in the song is fed up with his partner's laziness and is ready to demand change or move on.
