We were both young

when I first saw you

I close my eyes

and the flashback starts

I'm standin' 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 throwin' pebbles

and my daddy said

stay away from Juliet

And I was cryin'

on the staircase

beggin' 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

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...

Uh-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 beggin' 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

they try 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 waiting

wonderin' if you were

ever comin' around

My faith in you is fading

when I met you on

the outskirts of town

and I said

Romeo save me

I've been feelin' so alone

I keep waiting for you

but you never come

Is this in my head

I don't know what to think

he knelt to the ground and

pulled out a ring and said

Marry me, Juliet

you 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

it's a love story

baby, just say yes

Oh-oh

oh-oh-oh

'cause we were both young

when I first saw you
