[Verse 1]

I have a secret place inside my mind

Where I keep hidden inspiration you won't find

And when my petty anger goes to my head

You'll find I'm better off dead


[Pre-Chorus 1]

Oh, and I don't hold the key to find out what is killing me

It's been so long but somehow I just still care


[Chorus]

I am a Romeo

Am a Romeo

With no place to go

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey


[Verse 2]

Sometimes I think you hate me, hang up the phone

But take a closer look, this hate I feel is my own

So many times I've loved you more than myself

It's time to take that love and put it on the shelf


[Pre-Chorus 2]

Oh, and when I hold you tight, it makes me want to scream and fight

Love turned to hate

Somehow it's just, how it's just, how it's just too late


[Chorus]

I am a Romeo

Am a Romeo

With no place to go

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, hey, hey, hey, hey

Pick it up, pick it up, hey, hey, pick it up, hey, pick it up

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey


[Bridge]

Rock the Reggae music 'cause it sounds so fine, right!

When I hold you tight, in my arms you are mine

But in the morning when I wake up and I still feel the same

I know something's going on, and I know who's to blame

Every time I tell you I'm the real Romeo

It fills my soul and heart with anger, pain, and sorrow

'Cause something's going on, and I think you should know

So listen to my rhyme, 'cause this is how it goes:

In a tight mini short, in a short mini skirt

And it feels so wrong and it feels so right

The more I think about it, you're a pain in the ass

I told you many times, this time it's gonna last

Want the kind of woman who can make me feel right

Not sloppy drunk sex on a Saturday night, 'cause


[Chorus]

I am a Romeo

Am a Romeo

With no place to go

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Pick it up, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, alright


[Instrumental Break]


[Outro]

Pull up your honey if you gotta one see

Because you're down with the style, 'cause you're down with me

(Right!) Oh, rig the selector when you're on the mixer

Along with Peter Metro upon the echo chamber

Two, one, no they must see but no, they can't test me

Two, three of them a-come and say you can't test me

Because me rock the reggae music in a different stylee

Me rock the kinda reggae music right on time

Because your down with the band that they call Sublime, right!

Don't take it too slow, (Right!) don't take me wrong

Me know which way to go, me, me, me alright

Me rock the reggae music day and all night

Makes you wanna explode

Makes me wanna explode

Makes me wanna explode

It makes you wanna explode

Times it makes you wanna explode, a-ha-ha-ha-ha
