Juliet
Robin Lyrics

Juliet
Robin Gibb
I steal the night away
Drivin' my life away, dancin'
I was a romeo

I knew the art of romancin'
I was just one of the guys
And I thought I had it made
I needed someone to show me how to love

Juliet oh Juliet
The night was magic when we first met
Juliet, oh Juliet
You know you taught me to fly
You take me clear to the sky
And all the people around the world can stand aside
For me and my baby, Juliet

Fighting with destiny, fortune and fame but kept losing
Playin' a joker's game,
Only myself I was foolin'
I was an average guy in a world of empty dreams
You've broken down all the walls with your love

Juliet, oh Juliet
This kind of lovin' you don't forget
Juliet, oh Juliet
You know you taught me to fly
You take me clear to the sky
And all the people around the world can stand aside

Close your eyes, Juliet, don't let go

On and on, our love is like the sun
It keeps going strong throughout eternity
I want to love you in my life, sweet Juliet
Livin' without you in my life, oh my girl Juliet

Juliet, oh Juliet
This kind of lovin' you don't forget
Juliet, oh Juliet
You know you taught me to fly
You take me clear to the sky
And all the people around the world can stand aside

Juliet, oh Juliet
This kind of lovin' you don't forget




Juliet, oh Juliet, Ah...
Juliet, oh Juliet

Overall Meaning

The song "Juliet" by Robin Gibb is a romantic ballad that tells the story of a man who was once a "Romeo," a ladies' man with a lot of confidence in his ability to romance women. However, he soon realizes that he is missing something important in his life: true love. He meets a woman named Juliet, who teaches him how to love deeply and passionately. The lyrics reflect the joy and thrill of falling in love for the first time, as well as the fear and uncertainty that can come with it.


The song's repeated use of "Juliet, oh Juliet" reinforces the idea that the woman has become everything to the singer; he cannot imagine his life without her. The lyrics "Close your eyes, Juliet, don't let go/On and on, our love is like the sun/It keeps going strong throughout eternity" suggest that the singer is committed to a long-term relationship with Juliet, one that will outlast the challenges that come their way.
