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 summe
r 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 p
ebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase, beggi
ng 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 pri
ncess
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 l
etter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me, I was beg
ging 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 pri
ncess
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes
Romeo, save me, they’re trying to tell m
e how to feel
This love is difficult, but it’s real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of th
is 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 alo
ne
I keep waiting for you but you never com
e
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 that's all I really know
I talked to your dad you'll pick out a w
hite dress
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes
Oh, oh, oh
We were both young when I first saw you
