We were both young
when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standing 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 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
Oh, oh, 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 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
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 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
Romeo 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 knelt to the ground
and he 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
It's a love story,
baby, just say yes
Oh, oh, oh, oh
We were both young
when I first saw you
