Saturday Morning
Tanya Stephens Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Phone rings
Dishes splatters

This mornin when i woke,& open my my eyes.
I was greeted by ur most sober and surprise
A face i've never seen before in my life just lounging on my pillow right next to mine.
And im looking at it and i panic and remember havin the gin and tonic and recall every rum and cola too
But for a life of me, i cant remember you

Tanya: so who u boss?
Bigga: (burp) bigga blocks
Tanya: ok
Tanya: bigga blocks?

This happened before this wasnt the first, but i gotta admit, this one is the worst.
And where were my friends, didnt any body see? God almighty, this one is ugly

(drinks pouring)

So im rushing to the toilet and while takin a piss.
Im thinking that this better be the catalyst
To make me change my flandering ways and make my nights reflect my better days yo
A weh mi say now

Theres a strange man in my house
And his boots are on the floor
Mr. bocadi, we cant chill any more
From now on, im just rollin with cola
If that dont work, then imma rockin it
So long
A weh mi seh now

Theres a strange man in my bed and he seems to satisfy
How on earth am i gonna savage my pride
Smerk off, its been a heck of a ride
But this is where i got to bid u good bye
Bid u good bye

Tanya: yo bigga! get up. u fi go now
Bigga: (groanin) huhhh
Tanya: mi nuh kno how this happened, i swear
Tanya: oy, pan yuh way out, grab mi a beer
Bigga: (hissin of teeth) tek man fi blood cloth idiot

Door closes

Overall Meaning

The first few lyrics of Tanya Stephens's "Saturday Morning" describe waking up to a stranger lying in her bed, apparently a result of a drunken hookup from the previous night. She describes feeling panicked and uncertain about how this has happened, realizing that her recent drinking habits have led her to make poor choices in her relationships. This is a recurring issue for her, but this particular occurrence seems to be especially jarring. She wonders why none of her friends intervened, and laments the situation as both ugly and embarrassing.

The rest of the song involves Tanya confronting the stranger and telling him to leave, reflecting on the pride she has lost as a result of her promiscuity and drunkenness. She decides to change her ways and stick to non-alcoholic beverages, hoping to improve her life and avoid further embarrassing situations like this one. The lyrics are introspective and honest, portraying Tanya as both regretful and determined to make changes in her life.
