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

I see the lights, see the party, the ballgowns

You see me make my way to the crowd

And say hello, little did you know...

That I was Romeo and I was throwing pebbles

And your daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"

And you were crying on the staircase

Begging me please don't go...

And you said...

"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone "

I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run

I'll be the princess and you'll be the prince

It's a love story, baby, just say yes.

So I sneak out to the garden to see you

And we keep quiet, because we're dead if they knew

So close your eyes... Escape this town for a little while.

Cause I was Romeo - You were a scarlet letter

And your daddy said "Stay away from Juliet"

But you were everything to me

And you were begging me, please don't go,

And you said...

"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone "

I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run

I'll be the princess and you'll be the prince

It's a love story, baby, just say yes.

Juliet save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel.

This love is difficult, but it is 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,

Wondering if you were ever coming around.

My faith in you is fading,

When I met you on the outskirts of town.

You 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,"

Then I kneel on the ground and pull 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 the white dress

It's a love story, baby just say... yes.

We were both young when I first saw you.
