Love Story

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 this 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

Oh, oh, oh

'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 try to tell me how it feels

this might be stupid boy, but its so real

Don't be afraid now we'll get out of this mess

It's a love story

Baby, just say yes

I got tired of waiting wondering if you were ever coming around

my faith in you is better

When I met you on the outskirts of town

And I said

Romeo save me ive been feeling so alone

Ill keep waiting for you but you never come

Is this in my head, I don't know what to think

he fell 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 you'll pick out a white dress

It's a love story

Baby, just say yes

Oh, oh, oh

We were both young when I first saw you
