Romeo
Femme Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You, you, you
Gimme, gimme, gimme
Oh, oh, oh

Start your engines
I′m here tonight
I'm not looking for love
I′m just looking for fire
He burns so bright
He's giving me the feels
Jackie's out, yeah
She′s looking fine
She′s got her platform shoes and a bucket of wine
She's gonna stay up all night and sing it like she′s Tina

I want
My Romeo
I want
My hero

Gimme, gimme, gimme
Oh, oh, oh
Gimme, gimme, gimme
Oh, oh, oh

Listen Mr. Gigolo
You can ride my pony to the rodeo
Giddy up, giddy up!
I'll meet you down the arena
Sally′s out, she thinks it's ′94
She's got a hairdo like you've never seen before
She′s a real treat, but your Mother thinks she′s a dreamer

I want
My Romeo
I want
My hero

I call, I call your name again
I said it louder, scream it out
I tried, I tried to tell you, I think a thousand times

I want
My Romeo
I want (blue skies, good news, sunshine)
My hero

I want blue skies when in London
Good news in the morning
Sunshine
My Romeo
I want blue skies when I want it
Good news in the morning




Sunshine
My hero
