We were both young when I first saw you

I close my eyesAnd the flashback starts

I'm standing thereOn a balcony in summer air

See the lightsSee 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'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'

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

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've been feeling so aloneI

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

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
