We were both young when I first saw you
I closed my eyes and the flashback starts
I&9m standing there
On a balcony in summer air
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
I 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&9t go
And I said
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I&9ll be waiting, all there&9s left to do is run
You&9ll be the prince and I&9ll be the princess
It&9s a love story
Baby, just say yes
So, I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet cause we&9re dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while
Oh oh
Cause you were Romeo, I was the scarlet letter
And my daddy said, "stay away from Juliet"
But you were my everything to me
I was begging you, please don&9t go
And I said
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I&9ll be waiting, all there&9s left to do is run
You&9ll be the prince and I&9ll be the princess
It&9s a love story
Baby, just say yes
Romeo, save me
They try to tell me how I feel
This love is difficult, but it&9s real
Don&9t be afraid, we&9ll make it out of this mess
It&9s a love story
Baby, just say yes
Oh oh
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
And I said
Romeo, save me
I&9ve been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you, but you never come
Is this in my head
I don&9t know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said
Marry me, Juliet, you&9ll never have to be alone
I love you and that&9s all I really know
I talked to your dad
Go pick out a white dress
It&9s a love story
Baby, just say yes
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Cause we were both young when I first saw you
