Romantic
Karyn White Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thrill me say the word I will surrender to your poetic charms
When the night falls I hear seductive voices
sing romantic songs of love let's get intimate
Turn the lights down it's time to get romantic
You and me romantic now.
Light a candle it's time to get romantic
Kiss me I feel waves of steamy passion I'm burning with desire
Free me from the heat my heart's on fire 'cause
I still need your love under the moonlight with stars shining so bright
baby my mind is on love when we get home tonight
Turn the lights down it's time to get romantic
You and me romantic now.
Light a candle it's time to get romantic
The lyrics to "Romantic" by Karyn White paint a picture of a couple indulging in romantic urges as the night falls. White implores her partner to take her in their arms and caress her gently - the listener can almost feel the heat of their desire in her voice. She expresses a willingness to surrender to her partner's "poetic charms" and indulges in their shared passion through steamy kisses and waves of "steam passion." The song celebrates the beauty of intimate love, and the pleasures of sharing it with someone you care about.
At its core, Romantic is a song about the power of love and the intense feelings that come with romantic intimacy. The lyrics are all about getting lost in the moment with someone special, and the refrain of "you and me romantic now" drives home the idea that this moment is all about them. The song uses simple but evocative language to conjure up a sense of passion and sensuality. It's easy to visualize the candlelit room, the sultry voices singing love songs, and the couple lost in each other's arms.
Overall, "Romantic" is a great example of a classic R&B love song, with lyrics that are both evocative and beautifully sung. White's voice is seductive and powerful, and the song's instrumentation provides the perfect backdrop for its message. Whether you're in love or just in the mood for a little romance, this song is guaranteed to get your heart pumping and your toes tapping.

Ooh
Baby, baby, baby
I wanna get romantic
Oh
Turn the lights down
It's time to get romantic
Light a candle

Let's be romantic
Take me in your arms, caress me gently
Oh, I can't get enough, ooh
Thrill me, say the word, I will surrender
To your poetic charm, oh
'Cause when the night falls
I hear seductive voices sing
Romantic songs of love
Let's get intimate
Turn the lights down
It's time to get romantic
(Do everything romantic now)
Light a candle
It's time to get romantic
(The night has just begun, so baby, let's be romantic)
Kiss me, I feel the waves of steamy passion
I'm burnin' with desire
Baby, free me from the heat, my heart's on fire
'Cause I still need your love
Under the moonlight
With the stars shining so bright
Baby, my mind is on love
When we get home tonight, ooh
Turn the lights down (Oh, baby)
It's time to get romantic
(Do everything romantic please)
Light a candle

Turn the lights down (Turn the lights down low)

Light a candle
It's time to get romantic
(Just into me romantically, yeah)
Just keep tellin' me, oh, baby
Sweet ecstasy, oh, yeah
Whenever we're all alone and I got this burnin' flame that's in my heart
'Cause I don't ever wanna stop
Baby

I think the bass line in this song is great. This is the kind of performance that expresses euphoria in sound.

What a leadoff song for the Ritual of Love album. Love Karyn's vocals in this song. Man, I really appreciate the backing vocalists (Darron Story and Andre Shepard) in this song. And of course, I love the musical instrumentation used in this jam by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.
Daniel Burns
