To go off on a tangent (why not?) this song brings up one of my pet peeves: people who don't know what the word "wherefore" means. And oh boy, are there a lot of them, including whoever wrote this song.
IT MEANS "WHY"!!!! IT DOESN'T MEAN "WHERE"!!!! She's asking "WHY are you Romeo", ie why do you have to be from the wrong family, NOT "WHERE ARE YOU?"!!!!!!!!!!!
Rinkworks being the literate place it is, I'm sure most people here already know that, but telling each other our pet linguistic peeves is a great old tradition here.
