I always thought it sounded like some sleazy pickup artist that selfishly wanted to take advantage of a distraught and vulnerable person purely for sex, while that person was suffering the trauma of a painful breakup.
I always took it to be the one guy who don't get to be with the one woman who has slept with the whole town. He is content with waiting and even seems to enjoy watching how many she's with, without even looking in his general direction... Er, not much better.
That concept is similar to "The Tide is High" by Blondie:

"Every girl wants you to be her man, but I'll wait my dear, till it's my turn..."

I'm not sure if that song is a good fit for this thread though, because Debbie Harry has never rubbed me the wrong way!

.

I once rubbed a nice lady the right way on Blondie concert, but I won't ever mention this. This is just the whisky talking...

As someone who can't write lyrics to save my life, I find it hard to cast stones at people who at least try. That said, any lyrics that spell out words (e.g., S-A-T-U-R-DAY Night!) usually make me cringe.

And, of course "Ironic". I mean, if you're going to title your song "Ironic", you should probably at least know what that word means.

Ed Sheeran, he's annoying enough but in 'Bad Habits'
"Conversations with a stranger I barely know"
I always think - that's sort of what a stranger is!!

Do I dare ask how you feel about songs that "spell out" phone numbers?

How about, when such songs morph the phone number 867-5309 into 8675-309?

The grand facade / so soon will burn

The inclusion of "so" takes what could have been poetic and makes it awkward af.

Religious lyrics. If I wanted to be preached to, I'd go to church. I love me some Sting, but once he starts interjecting silly sky fairy references in, I pass. That's why my version of "...Nothing Like the Sun" omits the sky fairy-worshipping track "Rock Steady." BTW, it's also the reason why his last album, The Bridge, was pure rubbish. Every other song could've been written by the pope. ugh.

There's that country song, "Jesus Take The Wheel". Do you really want some guy who died 19 centuries before the advent of the automobile in the drivers' seat?

Or they could just start shouting out days of the week.

Any and all resort to ‘hear my plea’ of unrequited “love” is an absolute deal-killer. With the exception Hit Me Baby One More Time in Z’s cover. For reasons (#1 it’s funny). “Give me a sign” & “I must confess I still believe” I gotta give “Max Martin” props for, in spite of his protestations it isn’t what it is.
