Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Samantha Fox's song "Drop Me a Line" revolve around a toxic relationship where the singer seems to have had enough of her partner's unfaithful behavior. The opening verse "You turn me over for another girl/ Now you come runnin' but I really don't have the time" suggests that her partner cheated on her and now wants her back. However, she is not interested in giving him any more of her time and wants him to communicate with her in writing ("drop me a line") if there's anything he needs to say.

In the second verse, the singer rejects her partner's attempts to reconcile and tells him to leave. She also implies that he had been using her (“Don't try to tell me that you never used me/ You know you really love me bad”) and now he’s facing the consequences of his behavior. She repeats the line "you ain't no man/ Ha, you don't mean nothin' to me" multiple times, emphasizing her conviction that their relationship is over for good.

The overall tone of the song is one of empowerment and move-on. Instead of pining over her ex-partner, the singer is visibly over him and doesn't want him back in her life.
