we were both young when i first saw you
i close my eyes
and the flashback starts
im standing there
on a balcony of 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, and i said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
i’ll be waiting all theres left to do is run
you’ll be the prince and i’ll be the princess
its a love story baby just say yes

so i sneak out to the garden to see you
we keep quiet because we’re dead if they knew
so close your eyes
lets 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 save me, they're tryin to tell me how to feel
this love is difficult, but its real
don’t be afraid we’ll make it out of this mess
its 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 and pulled out a ring and said

marry me Juliet, you’ll never have to be alone
i love you and thats all I really know
i talked to your dad go pick out a white dress
its a love story baby just say yes
oh, oh, yes
