Jerome Lyrics

Woo, oh
Here we go again
Uh-uh, hee-hee
Uh, look, listen, shut up

Jerome, Jerome
Take your ass home
And come back when you're grown
Jerome, Jerome
Go on, take your ass home
Where the pictures have thorns

Poor little baby
Who told you that you stood a chance with this royalty?
You're so sweet, bless your heart
Can't let a pretty face distract me from business
And God as my witness, your ugly ass won't either
I'm sorry, 2 am photos with smileys and hearts
Ain't the way to my juicy parts
Boy, thank me later, looks good on paper
But love isn't easy, so I'll do the hardest part

Jerome, Jerome
Go on, take your ass home
And come back when you're grown
Jerome, ooh, Jerome
Go on, take your ass home
Where the pictures have thorns

I never said I was perfect
Or you don't deserve a good person
To carry your baggage
I know a few girls that can handle it
I ain't that kind of chick (But I can call 'em for you if you want)
I never said that you wasn't attractive
Your style and that beard, oh!
Don't get me distracted
I'm tryna be patient, and patience takes practice
The fact is I'm leaving, so just let me have this

Jerome, Jerome
Take your ass home
And come back when you're grown, oh
Jerome, ooh, Jerome
Go on, take your ass home
Where the pictures have thorns

(Hee, hee, hee, hee, hee)
Don't cry for me, baby
(Hee, hee, hee, hee, hee)
(Hee, hee, hee, hee, hee)
Oh, don't cry for me, baby
(Hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee)

What is the Meaning of Jerome?

In this poignant and assertive ballad, Lizzo addresses a suitor who is not yet mature enough to be in a relationship with her. Through the character of Jerome, she emphasizes the necessity for emotional growth and self-awareness before engaging in a serious romantic commitment. The lyrics convey a blend of empathy and firmness, as Lizzo acknowledges Jerome's attractiveness but underscores that superficial qualities are insufficient for sustaining love. She urges him to return only when he has developed the maturity required for a meaningful partnership. This narrative serves as an empowering message about self-respect and setting boundaries. #SelfRespect #EmotionalMaturity #Empowerment #Boundaries
