Romeo
Basement Jaxx · Rooty
you keep on giving me the hold up
you know I wish you'd make your mind up
cuz when we get it on, you're so-so
you used to be my romeo (woa oh ay oh)
cuz you see my dear, I have, had enough
of keeping quiet about all this stuff
you're neurotic like a yo-yo
you used to be my romeo(woa oh ya oh)
let it all go(woa oh ay oh)
let it all go(woa oh ay oh)
let it all go(woa oh ay oh)
let it all go(woa oh ay oh)
let it all go
You used to be my romeo
you keep on giving me the hold up
you know I wish you'd make your mind up
cuz when we get it on you're so-so
you used to be my romeo (woa oh ay oh)
cuz you see my dear, I have, had enough
of keeping quiet about all this stuff
you're neurotic like a yo-yo
OH you used to be my romeo
let it all go(woa oh ay oh)
let it all go(woa oh ay oh)
let it all go(woa oh ay oh)
let it all go(woa oh ay oh)
let it go oh oh oh
let it all go
cuz you left me laying there,
with a broken heart.
staring though a deep cold void,
alone in the dark
and I miss the warmth in the morning,
and the laughter when I can't stop yawning
but the tears on the pillow have dried my dear
gonna let it all go cuz I have no fear
(woa oh ay oh)
let it all go(woa oh ay oh)
let it all go(woa oh ay oh)
let it all go(woa oh ay oh)
let it all go

Basement Jaxx's 'Romeo' stands as a defining track of the early 2000s dance-pop era, serving as the lead single from their breakthrough album 'Rooty'. The song exemplifies the genre's signature blend of driving electronic beats and melodic hooks, characteristic of the group's work during their peak commercial success. Released alongside hits like 'Where's Your Head At', the recording helped cement the band's status as pioneers of the UK garage-influenced dance sound that dominated radio charts globally. Its enduring popularity reflects the era's specific aesthetic, where high-energy production met catchy, singable melodies, making 'Romeo' a staple in the catalogue of early 2000s dance music.
