Patti Scialfa - Romeo lyrics

Standing at your doorstep darlin'

what can I do

you're a part of me forever

like a troublesome tattoo

I lay awake at night

curse your name into the dark

while the memory of you rings

like a church bell through my heart

then a cold rain starts to fall

Oh Romeo

remember how we'd listen to the radio

when the girls sang

“baby baby you know it's true

ain't no one in this world for me but you”

Now I'm a believer darlin'

I believe in heaven above

and when I look in your eyes

I believe I still see love

well maybe I will never know

just why you walked away

did you think I wasn't good enough

or were you just afraid

of the cold rain that's fallen

all around us now

Oh Romeo…

Now I'm living here in Chelsea

In somebody else's arms

got a ring around my finger

diamond snake around my arm

don't know if he knows

about you darlin'

I don't even care

sometimes he pretend to reach for me

and I pretend I'm there

while that cold rain

has fallen all around us now

listen

Oh Romeo

remember how we'd listen to the radio

when the girls sang

“baby baby you know it's true

ain't no one in this world for me but you”

well there is no one
