Sick and Tired
Love's Breaking Point: Johnny Jenkins' Soulful Plea
Lyrics
Oh baby, whatcha gonna do
Expressing frustration or inquiry about a course of action
Oh baby, whatcha gonna do
Reiteration of frustration or inquiry
I'm sick and tired of foolin' around with you
Feeling exhausted and fed up with playing games or being insincere in the relationship
Wake up in the mornin' fix you somethin' to eat,
Starting the day by taking care of the partner's basic needs
'fore I go to work I even brush your teeth
Going the extra mile by even brushing the partner's teeth before leaving for work
Get home in the evenin' and you're still in bed
Returning home in the evening to find the partner still in bed
Got yourself a rag tied 'round you're head.
Partner appearing disheveled or hungover with a rag tied around the head
Oh baby, whatcha gonna do
Reiteration of frustration or inquiry
I'm sick and tired of foolin' around with you
Reinforcing the feeling of being worn out from the relationship
I'm tellin' you baby you'd better change your ways
Urging the partner to change their behavior
I'm tellin' you baby I mean what I say
Emphasizing the seriousness of the message conveyed
Last time tellin you to stop that jive
Warning the partner that this is the final warning to stop deceitful behavior
Gonna find yourself outside
Threatening consequences of being kicked out if the behavior persists
Oh baby, whatcha gonna do
Reiteration of frustration or inquiry
I'm sick and tired of foolin' around with you
Reaffirming the exhaustion and weariness from the relationship
Last time tellin' you baby you'd better change your ways
Reiterating the urgency for the partner to alter their conduct
Last time tellin' you baby I mean what I say
Stressing the seriousness and truthfulness of the warning
Last time tellin you to stop that jive
Final warning to cease the deceptive behavior
Gonna find yourself outside
Reiterating the potential consequence of being expelled from the relationship
Oh baby, whatcha gonna do
Reiteration of frustration or inquiry
I'm sick and tired of foolin' around with you
Exhaustion and weariness from continuing the relationship under current circumstances
