Ed Sheeran – New Man
Lyric Annotation
Chorus
I don't wanna know about your new man
'Cause if it was meant to be
You wouldn't be callin' me up tryin' to
'Cause I'm positive that he don't wanna know
about me
I don't wanna know about your new man
We'll get there eventually
I know you're missin' all this kind of love
But I'm positive that he don't wanna know
about me
This tells us that he
doesn't care about
what she has to say
anymore. This lyric
leads to the song
being a narrative
about his ex-girlfriend
talking to him about
her new man.
He’s trying to say
that you don’t need
to call me if you got
a new man and he’s
wouldn’t want to
know that they was
both talking. This
shows that she isn’t
happy with the new
relationship she is
in and wants to get
back with the artist
These lyrics ehpisise how much the
artist doesn’t want to hear what she
has to say even thought she wants to
get back with him. Once again this
shows that she doesn’t want to be in
a relationship with the new man.
Verse 1
No, no, no, no, no
I heard he spent five hundred pounds on jeans
Goes to the gym at least six times a week
Wears both shoes with no socks on his feet
And I hear he's on a new diet at watches what he eats
He's got his eyebrows plucked and his asshole bleached
Owns every single Ministry CD
Tribal tattoos and he don't know what it means
But I heard he makes you happy, so that's fine by me
But still, I'm just keepin' it real
Still lookin' at your Instagram and I'll be creepin' a lil'
I'll be tryin' not to double tap, from way back
'Cause I know that's where the trouble's at
Let me remind you of the days when
You used to hold my hand
And when we sipped champagne out of cider cans
I guess if you were Louis Lane, I wasn't Superman
Just a young boy tryin' to be loved
So let me give it to ya
All these lyrics gives the
audience a brief example of
what the new guy is like, his
tendencies and attitudes.
These descriptions makes it
look like he has no worries
doesn’t care about how much
money he spends, he spends a
lot of time making sure he
looks good etc.
This part of the verse is
saying that he is still
looking out for her. The
words “I'll be tryin' not to
double tap, from way
back” means that he is
trying to keep it on the
down low so her new
man doesn’t get
suspicious.
These lyrics are reminiscent of the
old times when they were together.
This shows that he still cares about
her as he still thinks about what they
used to do together.
Verse 2
Your new man rents a house in the 'burb
And wears a man bag on his shoulder, but I call it a purse
Every year, he goes to Málaga with all the fellas
Drinks beer, but has a six pack, I'm kinda jealous
He wears sunglasses indoors, in winter, at nighttime
And every time a rap song comes on, he makes a gang sign
Says, chune, boy never light up the room
But enough about him, girl, let's talk about you
You were the type of girl who sat beside the water readin'
Eatin' a packet of crisp, but you will never find you cheatin'
Now you're eatin' kale, hittin' the gym keepin' up with Kylie and Kim
In the back of the club, kissin' a boy that ain't him
Okay, you need to be alone
And if you wanna talk about it, you can call my phone
I just thought I would tell you, 'cause oughta know
You're still a young girl tryin' to be loved
So let me give it to ya
This part of the verse talks about
all the things that he does
because he is jealous because he
does all the good things that he
can’t do. This shows that he really
doesn’t like him at all because he
can do things the artist can’t do.
He then does to compare
what the girl was like
then compared to now
and the things he picked
out shows that the artist
proffers what she was
like then because they
both got on really well.
Once again he brings up that
he is willing to get back with
her so this can be described as
persuading her to get back
with him. You could also say
this is like him telling her all
the bad things about him so
they could potentially get back
together.
Verse 3
Baby, I'm not tryin' to ruin your week
But you act so differently
When you're with him, I know you're lonely
Please remember you're still free
To make the choice and leave
Don't call me up, you need to show me
But I'm positive that he don't wanna know
about
But I'm positive that he don't wanna know
about
I don't wanna know about your new man
This last verse is basically like the
last thing he says to her and he is
just reminding her that she can do
what she wants. Basically he is
implying that they should be
together and not the new guy.
Finally, he is just emphising how
much he doesn’t want to hear
about this new man any more no
matter what.
