Discover the story of the song > Mister Softee – Kid Creole and the Coconuts

This song is about a person (referred to as "he") who is in a relationship with someone (referred to as "she") who is very emotional and sensitive (referred to as a "softie"). The protagonist is trying to explain that he needs sleep for work and can't spend the whole night with her, but she keeps insisting and making a big deal out of it. He tells her that she is not his type because of her behavior. He also mentions that he has had enough of her constant neediness and is frustrated with her inability to satisfy him. In the end, he calls her a "softie" again to emphasize that she is overly sensitive.
