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
