We were both young when I first saw youI close my eyes and the flash back 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 stair case Begging you please don't go And I said Romeo, take me somewhere we can be aloneI'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 letterAnd my daddy said stay away from JulietBut you were everything to meI was begging you please don't goAnd I saidRomeo, take me somewhere we can be aloneI'll be waiting, all there's left to do is runleft to do is runYou'll be the prince and I'll be the princessIt's a love story, baby, just say yesRomeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feelThis love is difficult, but it's realDon't be afraid, we'll make it out of this messIt's a love story, baby, just sayyes 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 townAnd I said Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone I keep waiting for you but you never comeIs 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 aloneI 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 Oh, oh, oh, ohWe were both young when I first saw you
