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 to 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
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 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
We were both young
when I first saw you
