Solange Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My heart won't let you go
(Okay, okay) I love you Romeo
You're my Juliet girl, come on

Love has truly been good to me
Not even one sad day, a memory I had since you came my way
I hope you know I'll gladly go
Anywhere you take me and ain't no limit to this love
I'll follow you to the moon and the sky above

The first time I met you
I didn't sweat you
My Juliet I knew that I'd catch you
Gave you the key to my heart you unlocked it
A perfect match you the plug, I'm the socket
And as time moved on we became friends
I knew was love at first sight and it wasn't 'bout to get wit' this
You was there when I needed you, I remember
Writing letters on the road I want to be wit' you
I know we young and we got time
Little soldiers need love so girl I want to make you mine
We could row together, go to shows together
My best friend, girl, lets grow together

Love has truly been good to me
Not even one sad day, a memory I had since you came my way
I hope you know I'll gladly go
Anywhere you take me and ain't no limit to this love
I'll follow you to the moon and the sky above

We could walk together, rode buses together
Your mom called us killer bees, we stuck together
We at parks playin' hide-go-seek
I find you (you), or you find me (me)
This was meant to be, they call us little one and shorty
Find us hugged up at every school party
We study together, ball together
Somebody said cupid must've brought us together
I love your cute eyes and you love my tight braids
Play video games almost everyday
And when we not together we on the phone
Talkin' 'bout our first kiss and we don't want to be alone

Love has truly been good to me (they way you make me feel, it's gotta be true love)
Not even one sad day, a memory I had since you came my way
(They way you make me feel, it's gotta be true love)
I hope you know I'll gladly go (they way you make me feel, it's gotta be true love)
Anywhere you (come on) take me and ain't no limit to this love
(They way you make me feel, it's gotta be true love)
(Come on, come on) I'll follow you to the moon and the sky above

And I remember so, well, how your smile made me feel bright
Like the sunshine, I'm so glad that you mine
You my Juliet, I never let the jealous ones between
And that's a safe bet
And we can get to studying after school is over
Homework is a must so you can come over
And afterwards we can hit the mall Sip Icee's
And cotton candy after that come chill with the family

Got to tell you how you threw me
I'm so happy that you came in here and changed my world
Bye bye sadness, hello Romie
You're the only boy
That's why Solange is so in love
I'll follow you to the moon and the sky above
(Romeo, Romeo)
(Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh)




(Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh)
(Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh)
