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
