We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I&9m standing there on a balcony in summer air
See the lights, see the party, the ballgowns
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, &9Stay away from Juliet!&9
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don&9t go
And I said,
&9Romeo, 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&9
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet, &9cause we&9re dead if they knew
So close your eyes, escape this town for a little while
&9Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said, &9Stay away from Juliet!&9
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don&9t go
And I said,
&9Romeo, 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&9re trying to tell me how to 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&9
I got tired of waiting,
wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you was fading,
when I met you on the outskirts of town
And I said,
&9Romeo, 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&9
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said,
&9Marry 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&9
We were both young when I first saw you
