Dripping in designer and danger, “Romeo” by Dove Cameron draws inspiration from one of William Shakespeare’s most iconic plays, Romeo and Juliet. Lines like “If Heaven won’t take you then I won’t go” and “Give you that love you’d kill yourself for” shows the tragic and all-consuming love we see in t...
[Intro]
Romeo
[Verse 1]
Got my Calvins in my Celine, and my leather pants slung low
Spit last night's gum in a magazine, dripping in your cologne
Prada sunnies, I look so mean while I'm leaving Carbone
I'm gli-glitching like a machine, can't wait to get you alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes I think I might start a new religion
Older than time, you and I, making bad decisions
Singing your name all day from the alleyway below
With a duffel bag in tow, Romeo
[Chorus]
Give you that love you'd kill yourself for
I bleed red, so Valentino
No, I don't speak italiano
But I like the way you put it down slow
Breath so hot, so Indio road
So ice-cold like thirty below
If Heaven won't take you, then I won't go
Romeo
[Verse 2]
Study me like enemy, like I'm your plan of attack
Lay your life out on the line and then never take it back
I must confess, I manifested this, baby, I found a hack
The night you put your kiss on me, you signed a binding contract
[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes I think I might start a new religion
Older than time, you and I, making bad decisions
Singing your name all day from the alleyway below
With a duffel bag in tow, Romeo
[Chorus]
Give you that love you'd kill yourself for
I bleed red, so Valentino
No, I don't speak italiano
But I like the way you put it down slow
Breath so hot, so Indio road
So ice-cold like thirty below
If Heaven won't take you, then I won't go
Romeo
[Post-Chorus]
Romeo
I'm like
Romeo
[Bridge]
He's daddy, won't leave me alone
We can make a movie, Tarantino
If Heaven won't take you, then I won't go
Woah, woah
Woah, Romeo
[Chorus]
Give you that love you'd kill yourself for
I bleed red, so Valentino
No, I don't speak italiano
But I like the way you put it down slow
Breath so hot, so Indio road
So ice-cold like thirty below
If Heaven won't take you, then I won't go

Everything Must Go
‘Romeo’ is about a love that feels mythic – a love that feels fated, all consuming and a little dangerous and disarming. I wrote the song and created the visuals to feel bizarre and otherworldly and purposefully lost in space and time. Romeo is a love song at its core and in its lyricism, but wrappe...
