We were both young when I first saw you

I close my eyes and the flashback starts

I'm standin' 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 throwin' pebbles

And my daddy said, Stay away from Juliet

And I was cryin' on the staircase

Beggin' 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

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 beggin' 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 tryna 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

I got tired of waiting

Wonderin' 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 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

Cause we were both young

When I first saw you
