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 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 staircase,
begging you please don't go
(chorus)
and I said,Romeo take me
somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all theres left to do is run
you'll be the prince and
I'll be the princess
its a love story, baby just say yes
so I sneak out
to the garden to see you
we keep quie,cause were 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
(chorus)
Romeo save me,
there tryin to tell me how to feel
this love is difficult,
but its real
don't me afraid
we'll make it out of this mess
its 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 thats all I really know
I talked to your dad,
you'll pick out a white dress
its a love story, baby just say yes
we were both young
when I first saw you
