| 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
|
| And I said,
|
| «Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
|
| I’ll be waiting, all that’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
|
| '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 |
