Romeo
Mr. Big Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am the morning, you are the light
You make the morning such a beautiful thing
I am the green grass, you are the rain
Fall on me, make me grow
No-one will ever know
Fall on me make me grow again

I am the spirit, you are the light
You make the sun shine brighter, you make me smile
I am the water, you are the rose
Oh lady of the land
Come to me take my hand
Until tomorrow I'm your man

Step back inside me Romeo she said
Step back inside me take me to your bed
Step back inside me Romeo
My Juliet and take me home

I am the darkness, you are the night
You make the darkness such a beautiful thing
I am the mountain, you are the snow
Fall on me make me grow
No-one will ever know
Fall on me make me grow again

Step back inside me Romeo she said
Step back inside me take me to your bed
Step back inside me Romeo
My Juliet and take me

Step back inside me Romeo she said
Step back inside me take me to your bed
Step back inside me Romeo
My Juliet and take me

Step back inside me Romeo she said
Step back inside me take me to your bed




Step back inside me Romeo
My Juliet and take me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mr. Big's song "Romeo" are about a couple that share a deep connection, one where the two individuals complete each other. The song starts with the singer presenting himself as the morning, and his lover as the light that makes it a beautiful thing. He compares himself to the green grass, and his partner to the rain that helps him grow. The two are inseparable, with no-one else understanding the bond they share.


He then sings about the two being each other's light in the darkness, the water to the other's rose making everything beautiful. The chorus is his partner's plea for him to return to her, and for the two to be together once again. The repetition of the phrase, "Step back inside me Romeo she said," is her call for him to come back in her life and take her home.


Overall, the lyrics can be interpreted as a love ballad, where the two partners complement one another, and their love is portrayed as natural and beautiful. The song can be seen as a hope for a deep love where the two completely sync with each other, and their bond is so strong that they never want to be apart.
