We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On the 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 y ou were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my da ddy said, 'Stay away from Juliet!'
And I was c rying on the staircase
Be gging you, 'Please don't go!'
A nd I said
Ro meo, 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 littl e while
Oh, oh
'Cause y ou were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my da ddy said, 'Stay away from Juliet!'
But you were e verything to me
I was b egging you, 'Please don't go!'
A nd I said
Ro meo, 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 trying 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, oh
I got tired of wa iting
W ondering if y ou were ever coming aro und
My faith in you was f ading
When I m et you on the outskirts of t own
And I said
Ro meo, 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 k nelt 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
I t's a love story, b aby, just say, 'Ye s.'
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
'Cause w e were both young when I first saw you
