Sick and Tired
Breaking the Chains: A Plea for Change
Lyrics
Oh baby, whatcha gonna do
Expressing frustration and seeking to understand the other person's intentions or actions.
Oh baby, whatcha gonna do
Reiteration of the frustration and the desire for a resolution or change.
I'm sick and tired of foolin' around with you
Feeling exhausted and fed up with playing games or being involved in a problematic situation with the person being addressed.
Wake up in the mornin' fix you somethin' to eat,
Beginning of a daily routine, indicating care for the other person by preparing food.
'fore I go to work I even brush your teeth
Illustrating an extensive effort to care for the other person's well-being, including personal hygiene.
Get home in the evenin' and you're still in bed
Returning home to find the person still inactive or not participating in daily activities.
Got yourself a rag tied 'round you're head.
Describing the person's disheveled appearance or lack of self-care.
Oh baby, whatcha gonna do
Reiteration of the frustration and seeking a resolution or change in behavior.
I'm sick and tired of foolin' around with you
Expressing exhaustion and dissatisfaction with the current situation involving the addressed person.
I'm tellin' you baby you'd better change your ways
Issuing a warning or ultimatum to the addressed person, suggesting a need for behavioral change.
I'm tellin' you baby I mean what I say
Reinforcing the seriousness of the warning or ultimatum, indicating sincerity.
Last time tellin you to stop that jive
Final warning to stop engaging in deceitful or manipulative behavior.
Gonna find yourself outside
Consequence for not heeding the warnings, implying eviction or separation.
Oh baby, whatcha gonna do
Repeated expression of frustration and the desire for a resolution or change in the situation.
I'm sick and tired of foolin' around with you
Reiteration of feeling tired and frustrated with the current state of affairs concerning the addressed person.
Last time tellin' you baby you'd better change your ways
Reinforcement of the finality of the warning or ultimatum given earlier.
Last time tellin' you baby I mean what I say
Emphasizing the seriousness and genuineness of the previous warning.
Last time tellin you to stop that jive
Final insistence on ending the deceptive or manipulative behavior.
Gonna find yourself outside
Reiterating the consequence of eviction or separation if there's no change in behavior.
Oh baby, whatcha gonna do
Continued frustration and seeking resolution or change in the situation.
I'm sick and tired of foolin' around with you
Reiteration of feeling worn out and fed up with the current situation involving the addressed person.
