Romeo and Juliet
Reflections Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Findin' a job tomorrow mornin'.
Gotta little somethin' I wanna do.
Gonna buy (gonna buy) somethin' I could ride in.
A-take my girl (take my girl) datin' at the drive-in.
Our love's gonna be written down in history,
A-Just like Romeo and Juliet.

I'm gonna buy her pretty presents.

Just like the ones in a catalog.
Gonna show (gonna show) how much I love her.
A-Let 'er know (let 'er know) one way or the other.
Our love's gonna be written down in history,
A-Just like Romeo and Juliet.

I'm a-gonna put Romeo's fame,
Right, smack, dab on the deed.

Alright, now, I'm speculatin',
Wonder what tomorrow's gonna really bring.
If I don't (if I don't) find work tomorrow,
It's gonna be (gonna be) heartaches and sorrow.
Our love's gonna be destroyed by a tragedy,

Overall Meaning

The song "Romeo and Juliet" by Reflections is about a young man who is hopeful and excited about his future with his girlfriend. He plans on finding a job, buying a car, and taking her on a date to the drive-in. He talks about how their love will be written down in history like the famous fictional couple, Romeo and Juliet. He plans on buying her presents to show how much he loves her and wants her to know how he feels.

However, towards the end of the song, he acknowledges that not everything in life goes according to plan. He worries about what will happen if he doesn't find a job, and suggests that their love could end tragically like Romeo and Juliet. The song captures the hope and fear that come with being in love, and the uncertainty that life can bring.

Overall, the lyrics are a reflection of the youthful optimism and risk-taking that are often associated with young love. The dreamer in the song hopes that he can create something special with his lover, but in the end, he is aware that there are no guarantees in life and love.

Everytime I hear this song it takes me back to a very warm spring day heading down the 101 in a 1957 Thunderbird with the top down.
It was my brother's girlfriend's car, and we were heading over to Malibu for some sun, surf and fun.
It's been close to 59 years, and I still remember that wonderful day listening to this wonderful song.
Thank you so much!

If you're still listening to the 60s sound, but want a new band, The Young Veins put out an album "Take a Vacation," and the recording quality even sounds 60s (which is hard to replicate with modern tech).

I also really love The Redwalls, but they're clearly trying to sound like The Beatles (love 'em, though. Chicago band :D)

Joaquin Lucero

1y↑3

@Blue Dragon hey, thanks for the references. I only know of one newer band trying to replicate the older sound and that is “Durand Jones and the indications” they are pretty good at nailing that 60-70s sound.
But thanks again, I’m gonna check these guys out

And to think that the Reflections themselves didn't think it was much of a song at all, at first. They thought it was a joke.

This is one of the best songs I've ever heard. My mother told me in 1964 when this came out, most of the white kids were listening to The Beatles, while the black kids rammed the record stores to by this single. It reached #1 on the R&B charts.

The Reflections achieved success purely on the strength of their well-crafted harmonies and cool professionalism. It's no wonder that four decades later The Reflections are still heralded as one of the finest vocal groups of The Sixties Pop and Doo-Wop Music Era.They are still performing today to sell out shows and standing ovations throughout The U.S.A. and Canada. The Reflections' name hangs proudly on the wall of the Cleveland Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame. Joey Finazzo Sal Prado

Lots of history surrounding this recording. The original music was recorded at United Sound Studios in Detroit. It was first opened roughly 90 years ago and is still used to this day. It is a designated Michigan historical landmark. The vocals were recorded at RCA in Chicago. The finished product came from Golden World Studios in Detroit which was eventually purchased and used by Motown Records. Rumor says that several of the Funk Brothers played on the record.

This is one of my best memories from 1964. It always meant a great deal to me to hear it on Saturday. It was a one hit wonder for them. It made it to the top 10! Great sound and for me many happy memories listening to it when it came on the radio or Dick Clark's Bandstand on Saturday after I came back from town with my mom and dad.

This song is almost 50 years old, and still with it! If you listen to the lyrics, it was the American Dream for the youth back then... maybe for some even still today

Lightning Blue

I was born in the 80s but always loved the sound and soul of the 60s. I can’t explain why I feel nostalgic for a period I never lived in but your comment really hit home. 1964 will always be a special year to me because on April 17th Ford released the Mustang. I can’t imagine how amazing it would be to have enjoyed this song when it was new in a new Mustang.

This tune peaked at Number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 in June of 1964 - it was such a huge single in Detroit, Berry Gordy, founder of Motown Records, sought to buy up the Golden World/Ric-Tic/Wingate record franchises (but not most of its artists)-

RICHARD PETREY, it was the Spring-Summer in 1964, with The Beatles running wild over everyone! But this little gem still got through with that great style and unforgettable title. #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 (Singles) chart on May 30, 1964. Tony Micale, lead singer, 21 (b. Aug. 23, 1942), and the band from Detroit, but second tenor Dan Bennie has passed away at 68 (Apr. 2008), who was from Scotland. Tony, Phil Castrodale, John Dean, and Ray Steinberg still alive in their mid-70s!

Growing up in the 60's was the best because of the music. I was born in the late 50s, but always enjoyed music. We grew up with music in the house. I also had lots of older cousins, so early rock'n'roll was big with them. Love 40s, through 80s, but partial to 60's music.

The sixties even with its major drawbacks and turmoil was a better time to come up in because the condition of the human heart was pure and real and there seemed less evil in the world even with all that was going on oddly enough.
