Juliet
Melissa Etheridge · Other Songs - Melissa Etheridge
Dressed in her jacket and jeans
Smoky tired eyes, innocent air
All the young boys stopping to stare
Believing they stand a chance
They caught a glance
Sunday at noon opening soon
All the young boys
All the young boys
They want to know
They want to know
Juliet, where's your Romeo?
Where oh where is your Romeo?
Tell me Juliet, where's your Romeo?
Tell us tell us dear, for we all want to know
Where do you come from dear lady?
Where are you going from here?
Could the street be your life?
Are you somebody's wife?
Do you punch in the time?
And are you hooked on the line?
Pretending you'll never lose
Catching the cruise
Friday at one
The night's begun
Oh mother and father
Mother and father
They want to know
They want to know
Juliet, where's your Romeo?
Where oh where is your Romeo?
Tell me Juliet, where's your Romeo?
Tell us tell us dear, for we all want to know
All the young boys
All the young boys
They want to know
They want to know
Juliet, where's your Romeo?
Where oh where is your Romeo?
Tell me Juliet, where's your Romeo?
Tell us tell us dear, for we all want to know
Juliet - Melissa Etheridge
Melissa Etheridge's 'Juliet' stands as a poignant exploration of romantic tension and vulnerability, delivered with her signature raw vocal intensity. The track exemplifies her ability to blend rock energy with intimate storytelling, characteristic of her work during the late 1990s and early 2000s. Etheridge often draws upon personal experiences to craft narratives that resonate deeply with listeners, and 'Juliet' is no exception. The song captures the complex emotions of a relationship in flux, using the titular figure as a metaphor for a lover who is both alluring and elusive. Its enduring appeal lies in Etheridge's unapologetic honesty and the way she transforms personal pain into universal anthems of love and heartbreak.
