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 And 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
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
Oh, oh, oh
`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 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
Romeo, save me, they`re trying to tell me how to feel This love is difficult, but it`s 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 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 he 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, you`ll pick out a white dress It`s a love story, baby, just say yes
