Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A lovestuck Romeo
Sings the streets of serenade
Layin' everybody low
With a love song that he made
He find the streetlight
He steps out of the shade
He says somethin' like, "You and me, babe, how about it?"
[Verse 2]
Juliet says, "Hey, it's Romeo
You nearly gave me a heart attack"
He's underneath the window, she's singin'
"Hey, la, my boyfriend's back"
You shouldn't come around here, singin' up the people like that
Anyway, what you gonna do about it?
[Verse 3]
Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start
And I bet that you exploded in my heart
And I forget, I forget the movie song
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?
[Verse 4]
Come up on different streets, and both were streets of shame
Both dirty, both mean, yes and the dream was just the same
And I dream your dream for you, and now your dream is real
How can you look at me, as if I was just another one of your deals?
[Verse 5]
You can fall for chains of silver, you can fall for chains of gold
You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
You promise me everything, you promised me thick and thin, yeah
Now you just say, "Oh, Romeo, yeah
You know I used to have a scene with him"
[Verse 6]
Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry
I said, "I love you like the stars above, I love you till I die"
And there's a place for us, you know the movie song
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?
[Verse 7]
I can't do the talk like the talk on the TV
And I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be
I can't do everything, but I'd anything for you
I can't do anything except be in love with you
[Verse 8]
And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
And all I do is keep the beat, and the bad company
And all I do is kiss ya, through the bars of a rhyme
Juliet, I'd do the stars with you any time
[Verse 9]
Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry
I said, "I love you like the stars above, I love you till I die"
And there's a place for us, you know the movie song
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?
[Verse 10]
A lovestuck Romeo
Sings the streets of serenade
Laying everybody low
With a love song that he made
He find a convenient streetlight
He steps out of the shade
He says somethin' like, "You and me, babe, how about it?"
