| 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 |
