[English]

You're my Romeo

And I just changed your name, now it's Romeo (okay)

I might just add you to my portfolio

Despite your biggest efforts to turn me on

You're my Romeo

Radio, you play your favourite song through your speakerphone

And still, I feel you through all your audio

Despite my biggest efforts to turn it off

You're my Romeo

Step one, don't let yourself fall in love

'Cause that isn't fun

Step two, ah, Romeo

There's somethin' in the air tonight

You're my Romeo

Everybody laughs when I tell them so (ow, ooh)

I feel like it's magic, Romeo

You're all I can imagine, imagine

You're my Romeo (ow, ooh)

Always sayin' somethin' to throw me off

I feel like it's magic, Romeo

You're all I can imagine, imagine

Romeo, rather die than be apart

It's only you that fell in love, on your knees, and you're lookin' up

Romeo, Romeo (okay, okay, okay, okay-okay)

Romeo, Romeo (alright, okay, okay-okay-okay)

(Romeo, Romeo) Romeo, yes, I know that you've had enough

(Romeo, Romeo) only one of us fell in love, so there's nothin' to discuss

You can fall in love with boys and girls and in between

So I promise that you shouldn't waste your time on all of me

You're my Romeo

Everybody laughs when I tell them so (ow, ooh)

I feel like it's magic, Romeo

You're all I can imagine, imagine

You're my Romeo (ow, ooh, Romeo)

Always sayin' somethin' to throw me off (ow, Romeo)

I feel like it's magic, Romeo

You're all I can imagine, imagine (oh)

(You're my Romeo) ha-ha, yeah-yeah-yeah (everybody laughs when I tell them so)

(I feel like it's magic, Romeo) Romeo (you're all I can imagine) imagine, imagine

You're my Romeo (Romeo)

Always sayin' somethin' to throw me off

I feel like it's magic, Romeo

You're all I can imagine, imagine (oh)
