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 this 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 this princess
It's a love story Baby, just say yes
Romeo save me , they try to tell me how it feels
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid now, we'll get out of this mess
It's a love story Baby, just say yes
Oh, 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 groud and 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, oh, oh
We were both young when I first saw you
