We were both young when I first saw you I close my eyes and the flashback starts, I’m standin’ there On a balcony in summer air See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns See you make your way through the crowd and say hello Little did I know That you were Romeo, you were throwin’ pebbles And my daddy said, stay away from Juliet And I was cryin’ on the staircase Beggin’ you, please, don’t go And I said
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone I’ll be waitin’, all there’s left to do is run You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess It’s a love story, baby, just say yes
So I sneak out to the garden to see you We keep quiet, cause we’re dead if they knew So close your eyes Escape this town for a little while Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter And my daddy said, stay away from Juliet But you were everything to me I was begging you, please, don’t go And I said
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone I’ll be waitin’, all there’s left to do is run You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess It’s a love story, baby, just say yes
I got tired of waiting Wonderin’ if you were ever comin’ around My faith in you was fading When I met you on the outskirts of town And I said
Romeo, save me, I’ve been feeling so alone I keep waiting for you but you never come Is this in my head? I don’t know what to think He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said Marry me Juliet, you’ll never have to be alone I love you and that’s all I really know I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress It’s a love story, baby, just say yes
