Oh baby, whatcha gonna do
Expressing frustration, asking a question about future actions.
Oh baby, whatcha gonna do
Repeating the question, emphasizing the uncertainty of the situation.
I'm sick and tired of foolin' around with you
Conveying dissatisfaction and weariness with the current relationship.
Wake up in the mornin' fix you somethin' to eat,
Describing a morning routine of taking care of the partner.
'fore I go to work I even brush your teeth
Highlighting the effort put into the relationship, including personal care for the partner.
Get home in the evenin' and you're still in bed
Returning home to find the partner still in bed, indicating laziness or neglect.
Got yourself a rag tied 'round you're head.

Oh baby, whatcha gonna do

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
Final warning to stop undesirable behavior or face consequences.
Gonna find yourself outside
Predicting an outcome if the partner doesn't change.
Oh baby, whatcha gonna do
Repeating the question with increased urgency.
I'm sick and tired of foolin' around with you

Last time tellin' you baby you'd better change your ways
