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… 

Hey Romeo 
Put on your running shoes I’m ready to go
Hey Romeo 
Put on your running shoes I’m ready to go

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…

Hey Romeo 
Put on your running shoes I’m ready to go
Hey Romeo 
Put on your running shoes I’m ready to go

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…

Hey Romeo 
Put on your running shoes I’m ready to go
Hey Romeo 
Put on your running shoes I’m ready to go
