Ramona
Velociraptor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't sit next to you in the cinema
When you're texting other guys
And I thought I knew you
But baby you make me so blue, uuuu uuuh uuuh
My baby, used to be my baby
So sweet and my baby,
I can't be merry when
My ramona marries some other slacker
I-i-i-i still remember when -
Ramona I told you
I ain't now scared of you
I won't write, I won't call
And I thought I knew you
But baby you make me so blue, uuuu uuuh uuuh
My baby, used to be my baby
So sweet and my baby
Used to be my baby, my baby!
I can't be merry when
My ramona marries some other slacker
I-i-i-i still remember when she was my girl
My girl my girl
My girl and my girl
My girl my girl
My girl and my girl
My girl my girl
My girl and my girl
Ramona I told you!
I can't be merry when
My ramona marries some other slacker
When I still remember when
I can't be merry when
My ramona marries some other slacker
When I still remember when
My girl, my girl
My girl, my girl
The song "Ramona" by Velociraptor tells the story of a relationship gone sour due to the girl's infidelity. The singer, who is addressing Ramona, tells her how he cannot sit next to her in the cinema because she texts other guys while ignoring him. He also lets her know that he can't be merry when Ramona marries another man, as he still remembers the good times they had together when she was his girl. Despite his feelings, the singer concludes that he won't write or call Ramona anymore, as she has broken his heart too many times.
The chorus repeats the phrase "My baby, used to be my baby" to emphasize how much the singer cared for Ramona before the betrayal. The bridge also revisits the thought of not being able to move on from the past, as the singer repeats "When I still remember when" before the final repetition of "My girl, my girl."
The song's use of repetition creates a melancholy tone that reflects the singer's sadness and longing for a past that cannot be regained. Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of heartbreak and betrayal in a failed relationship.
