Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Weather Girls' song "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair" tells the story of a woman who has had enough of her man and is determined to wash him out of her life. The repetitive nature of the lyrics emphasises the determination of the woman to get rid of her man. Throughout the song, the woman repeats "I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair" with an increasing level of firmness and conviction. She then proceeds to wave him out of her arms, cancelling him, and eventually washing him out and sending him on his way.


The song presents a woman who is taking back control of her life after being let down by her man. The chorus encourages women who are in a similar situation to be strong, to not waste time, and to make a change. By emphasising the act of physically washing away the man, the lyrics suggest a sense of catharsis and empowerment. The song is ultimately a message of independence and self-determination, urging women to take charge of their lives and move on from toxic relationships.
