Romeo
Billy Ray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And a hero in a book
Romeo comes struttin' in
And everybody looks
'Cause he's just got that special thang
That everybody needs
And everybody wants him
But not as bad as me
Hey, Romeo, where art thou
Get out here on the floor
I want to dance you darlin'
'Til you forget wherefore
Let's two step to a new step
We'll keep it all in line
And we'll call this the Romeo
'Cause you're so mighty fine
Romeo, Romeo, Romeo come dance with me
And that sexy little body
Beats all I've ever seen
I ain't never seen a cowboy
Look that good in jeans
My temperature keeps risin'
Every time we meet
I may not be in love
But let me tell you
I'm in heat
Romeo, Romeo, I just know I'll get you yet
Romeo, Romeo, I want to be your Juliet
So step it high, step it low
Step it out and in
Step to the side and let it slide
Then steppin' up again
Step on toes, it all goes
Steppin' as you please
But I'm one step away from love
So don't step out on me
Romeo, Romeo, Romeo with the magic feet
So step it high, step it low
Step it out and in
Step to the side and let it slide
Then steppin' up again
Step on toes, it all goes
Steppin' as you please
But I'm one step away from love
So don't step out on me
Romeo, Romeo
I just know I'll get you yet
Romeo, Romeo
Won't you be my Juliet
Romeo, Romeo
Romeo, Romeo
(Fade & Repeat)
The song "Romeo" by Billy Ray Cyrus is about a fictional character named Romeo, who the singer describes as a cross between a movie star and a hero in a book. Romeo is described as having a special quality that everyone wants, but she wants him the most. The singer is clearly infatuated with Romeo, describing his body as sexy and admitting that she is in heat when she is around him.
The singer then invites Romeo to dance with her, suggesting they create a new dance called "The Romeo". She tells him to step high, step low, step to the side, and let things slide, emphasizing that she is just one step away from love and warning him not to step out on her. The song ends with the singer repeating her desire to be Romeo's Juliet.
The song is a straightforward country love song that uses the character of Romeo to represent the idea of the perfect man that every woman desires. The singer's desire for Romeo is portrayed as physical and intense, making it a relatable song for anyone who has felt strongly attracted to someone. The lyrics also highlight the importance of dancing as a way to connect with a partner and move closer to love.
