Lyrics Romeo And Juliet - Indigo Girls

Romeo And Juliet

Love struck Romeo
Sings the streets a serenade
He’s layin' everybody low
He’s got a love song that he made
Well he finds a convenient street light
And he steps out of the shade and says something like
«You and me babe how about it?»
Juliet says, «Hey it’s Romeo
You nearly gave me a heart attack yeah well»
He’s underneath my window now she’s singin'
«Hey la my boyfriend’s back
You shouldn’t come around here
Singin' up to people like that
Oh anyway, what you gonna do about it?»
Oh Juliet the dice were loaded from the start
And I bet
And you exploded into my heart
And I forget, I forget the movie song
When you gonna realize?
It was just that the time was wrong
Julie
We both come up on different streets
And they were both streets of shame
They’re both dirty both mean
And yes even our dreams were the same
But I dreamed your dream for you
And now your dream is real so tell me honey
Now how can you look at me as
If I were just another one of your deals?
Now you can fall for chains of silver
And you can fall for chains of gold
You know you, you fall for pretty strangers
And the promises since they hold
Well you promised me everything
And then you, and then you promised me thick and thin
And now you just turn away and say
«Romeo I think I used to have a scene with him»
Oh Juliet when we made love you used to cry
You said, «I love you like the stars above
I’m gonna love you till I die»
There’s a place for us, I know you know this song
Now when you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong?
Julie I’m so in love
So in love yeah
But I can’t do the talk
Like they talk on my TV screen
I can’t do a love song
Not the way you sung it to me
I can’t do anything
But I would do anything for you, oh no
I can’t do anything
Except be in love with you
Yeah now all I do is miss you
And the way it used to be
And all, and all I do is keep the beat
I keep bad, bad company
And all I do is kiss you
Through the bars of this rhyme
When Julie I’d do the stars with you
Anytime
Oh Juliet when we made love you used to cry
You said, «I love you like the stars above
I’m gonna love you till I die»
There’s a place for us, I know you know the movie song
One day you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong
Julie, Julie, Julie
Oh this love struck Romeo
Sings the streets a serenade
Layin' everybody low
He’s got a love song that he made
Finds a convenient street light
And he’ll step out of the shade and he’ll say something like
«You and me babe how about it?»
