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, can be interpreted as a love song. The singer expresses that he is the morning, the green grass, and the spirit, while his love interest is the light, the rain, and the rose. He feels that she adds beauty and vitality to his life, and he wants her to continue to nourish him like the rain does for the grass. He wants her to take his hand and be with him until tomorrow, making him her man. The lines "Step back inside me Romeo she said/ Step back inside me take me to your bed" imply that they are physically intimate and that they want to be together always.


The song seems to suggest that the two lovers complement each other, with the contrast between "I am the darkness, you are the night" and "You make the darkness such a beautiful thing" emphasizing the balance between light and dark in the relationship. The metaphor of the mountain and the snow also reinforces this idea, with the snow representing the refreshing power of love that can cause growth and change.


Overall, the song is a poetic representation of deep love and intimacy, with the two lovers merging into one entity through the repeated refrain of "Step back inside me Romeo." The song's title and lyrical references are also inspired by the famous Shakespearean play, Romeo and Juliet, which tells the tragic love story of the titular characters.
