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 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 tryin' 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.

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.

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, Because

We were both young when I first saw you.
