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 ballgowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And say, "Hello"
Little did I know
That you were Romeo, you were throwingpebbles
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 bealone
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
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarletletter
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 bealone
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 tellme 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
Oh, oh-oh
I got tired of waiting
Wondering 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 feelingso 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 neverhave 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"
Oh, oh-oh Oh, oh-oh, oh 'Cause we were both young when I first saw you |
