Romeo
Tamera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I like it better
You
Inspire thought
You push the better side
Of me to talk
You're like a medicine
When I call you dope
High on you
I'm high on you
And I'd lay it all down
'Cause you taught me that I'm a soldier
But I don't have to fight you cause we are kosher
So I ride for you, ride for you
You know I'd slide on you, slide on you
I've got the time for you, time for you
'Cause you're mine and hold me down
Ay, I would never leave you out
I would never leave
'Cause now I know
How far I'd go
For you
Now I see
How much you mean
To me
You don't do surprises
But heaven knows
You fuck me righteous
Twice in a row
You keep it private
But people know
I'm who you ride with
The rest is quiet
'Cause I ride for you, ride for you
Every night you know I'd slide on you, slide on you
I'd do it right for you, keep it tight for you
'Cause you're mine and hold me down
I would never leave you out
I would never leave
'Cause now I know
How far I'd go
For you
Now I see
How much you mean
To me
I won't let you down
I won't let you go, no no
It's a ride or die situation
I go hard 'cause you built a foundation
You know when you send the location
I'll be there for you, ease ya frustration
'Cause now I know
How far I'd go
For you
Now I see
How much you mean
To me
In the song "Romeo," Tamera describes her relationship with her love interest as unconventional, but still incredibly meaningful. The lyrics "You no Romeo but I like it better" imply that her partner might not fit the traditional mold of a romantic hero, but that doesn't matter to her. She prefers someone who challenges her and inspires her to be her best self. She compares her love to medicine, saying that she's "genuinely high" on their presence. The chorus of the song emphasizes her loyalty, stating that she would do anything for her partner, even "lay it all down" and ride or die for them.
Throughout the rest of the song, Tamera goes on to describe her partner's qualities that make her feel so connected to them. She talks about their private and intimate moments, and how their relationship might not be obvious to others. However, she's proud to be the one standing by their side. Overall, the song is about finding someone who might not fit the mold of a romantic ideal, but who still brings you joy, inspiration, and a deep sense of connection.

I was Tamera fan since she was in X Factor 6 years ago and I was just 15. Because of her voice and her genuine personality, I was inspired and wanted to be someone one day too. I remembered she said on her first audition "Just a lot of practice". I liked this song and I am hoping for an album. Love you lots Tamera!
@SamArrandale
Love this! You need to get onto Colors for a live version of this on their YouTube channel. Would be sick
@giuseppegrasso123

@sonatashinome4672
What a coincidence I actually came in the right year to search more about her. And she debuted!
@robangel0816
I was waiting for her music for so long. Her season on X Factor was easily one if the best. Her voice is so smokey, sultry. Shes very versatile, and powerful.
