We were both young when I first saw you I close my eyes and the flashback starts I’m standing 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 throwing pebbles And my daddy said, “Stay away from Juliet” I was crying on the staircase Begging you, please, don’t go
And I said, “Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone I’ll be waiting, 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 Wondering if you were ever coming around My faith in you was fading When I met you on the outskirts of town
“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”
