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 there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince
and I'll be the prinprin-
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes
So I sneak out
to the garden to see you
We keep quiet
'cos we're dead if they knew
close your eyes
town
for a little while, ah oh oh
'Cos 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 tryin'
to tell me how I feel
This love is difficult
but it's real
Don't be afraid
we'll make it out of this mess
It's a story
Baby, just say yes
Oh oh
I got tired of waiting
wondering if you were
ever comin' 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 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
'Cos we were both young
when I first saw you
