Lyrics[]
- 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.
- I see the lights; see the party, the ball gowns.
- I see you make your way through the crowd-
- You 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, because 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 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.
- Oh, Oh.
- 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.
- Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh.
- Cause we were both young when I first saw you
