We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes & 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
You 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", & I said...
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone I'll be waiting; all that's left to do is run You'll be the prince & 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", & I said...
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone I'll be waiting; all that's left to do is run You'll be the prince & 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" ...
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 & pulled out a ring & said Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone I love you & 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 '
Cause we were both young when I first saw you
