Romeo Lyrics
[Intro]
On your marks
Get set!
[Verse 1]
Step up, lover
Big talker, take a number
I've got all day
To wipe the smile off your face
If I win, you're done with
But if you win, you win my heart
Isn't that what you want…
[Chorus]
Hey, Romeo
Put on your running shoes
I'm ready to go
Hey, Romeo
Put on your running shoes
I'm ready to go
I'm ready to go
[Verse 2]
The only way he
Can catch up to me is to cheat
There is no veto
What's done is done once I am beat
So roll me, race me
With all your tricks and all your heart
I'm not wishing you luck…
[Chorus]
Hey, Romeo
Put on your running shoes
I'm ready to go
Hey, Romeo
Put on your running shoes
I'm ready to go
I'm ready to go
[Bridge]
On your mark
I'm gonna run 'til you give me a
Reason to stop
To fall on my knees
To need love
On your mark
I'm gonna run 'til you give me a
Reason to stop
To fall on my knees
To, to fall on my…
[Chorus]
Hey, Romeo
Put on your running shoes
I'm ready to go
Hey, Romeo
Put on your running shoes
I'm ready to go
Hey, Romeo
Put on your running shoes
I'm ready to go
I'm ready to go
