Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
she swore she'il never leave him
but she did deceive him
she wend dum diridum...
i think i saw her kissing
whith a brand new lover
and when he heard about it
he went dumdiridum...
don't be a fool
just wake or your sober
love can be cruel
your bluster it's over
ooo romeo
just let her go
you alredy lost her
she's gonna be with someone who loves her more
romeo slow down now
can't you see the red line
line it up to the dark night
you go dum diridum...
Ooo Romeo
Don't be a fool
Just wake of your sober
Love can be cruel
Your bluster it's over
Oooo Romeo
Just let her go
You already lost her
She's gonna be with someone
who loves her more
Ooo Romeo
Don't be a fool
Just wake of your sober
Love can be cruel
Your bluster it's over
Oooo Romeo
Just let her go
You already lost her
She's gonna be with someone
who loves her more
The song "Romeo" by Top Cat depicts the story of Romeo who falls in love with Juliet, only to have her break his heart by leaving him for someone new. The lyrics suggest that Romeo is struggling to come to terms with Juliet's betrayal and is in a state of denial. The chorus urges Romeo to wake up and accept that he has lost Juliet to someone who loves her more.
The opening verse mentions how Juliet had promised never to leave Romeo, but ended up deceiving him. The following lines express Romeo's disappointment upon discovering Juliet kissing a new lover - an act that further shattered his heart. The repeated refrain of "dum diridum" suggests that Romeo is lost and doesn't know what to do in light of Juliet's infidelity.
The chorus repeats thrice, each time emphasizing the idea that Romeo needs to move on and let Juliet go. The line "you already lost her, she's gonna be with someone who loves her more" highlights the importance of accepting reality and understanding that love is not always enough to hold a relationship together. The final verse speaks of Romeo's recklessness as he drives at night, oblivious to the danger ahead - perhaps implying that the heartbreak has clouded his vision and judgment.
