"My Man Is A Mean Man" by Stefanie Heinzmann is a song about a woman who is in love with a man who treats her poorly. The lyrics describe the woman's conflicted feelings towards her partner. Despite his bad behavior, she finds herself unable to leave him. The song begins with the woman acknowledging the truth about her partner and how difficult it is to love him. Her mother advises her to use her head and leave him, while her father curses him and says there is nothing he can do to help her. However, she remains attached to him. The lyrics describe how her partner likes to mess around and is often in trouble, particularly with drinking. He comes and goes without warning, often leaving her alone and missing him. Despite all this, she still sees him as her man and stands by him. The chorus repeats the phrase "Na, na, nan-na" and emphasizes that he is a mean man, but he is still her man. She is by his side, waiting for him by the telephone. The next verse acknowledges that he lies, cheats, and leaves, but the woman still loves him and believes he loves her in his own way. The repetition of "Na, na, nan-na" in the bridge signifies her uncertainty, but she continues to stand by him. The song conveys a story of a woman who is in a toxic relationship but can't let go of her love for her partner. The lyrics reveal her struggle between acknowledging his mistreatment and her emotional attachment to him.
