Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And say hello
Little did I know
[PreChorus]
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
[Chorus]
And 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 and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes"
[Verse 3]
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
[PreChorus]
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
[Chorus]
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 princess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes
[Chorus]
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"
[Bridge]
Oh-oh
[Bridge]
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
[PreChorus]
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
[Chorus]
"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"
[Outro]
Oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
