We were both young, when I first saw you I close my eyes and the flashback starts I'm standing there, on a balcony of summer air
I see the lights; see the party, the ball gowns You see me make my way through the crowd And say hello, little did you know
That I was Romeo and I was throwing pebbles And your daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet" And you were crying on the staircase Begging me please don't go And I said
Juliet I'll take you somewhere, we can be alone Just keep waiting; all there's left to do is run I'll be the prince and you'll be the princess, It's a love story, baby, just say yes
So I sneak out to the garden to see you And we keep quiet, because we're dead if they knew So close your eyes Escape this town for a little while
Cause I was Romeo - You were a scarlet letter, And your daddy said "Stay away from Juliet" But you were everything to me And you were begging me, please don't go, And I said
Juliet I'll take you somewhere, we can be alone Just keep waiting; all there's left to do is run I'll be the prince and you'll be the princess, It's a love story, baby, just say yes
Romeo save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel This love is difficult, but it is real Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess 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 is fading, When I met you on the outskirts of town You 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," Then I kneel on the ground and pull 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-you'll pick out the white dress It's a love story, baby just say yes
