Romeo and Juliet

Lovestruck Romeo

Sings streets a serenade

Layin' everybody low

With a love song that he made

Finds a streetlight

Steps out of the shade, says something like

"You and me babe, how 'bout it?"

Juliet says, "Hey, it's Romeo"

"You nearly give me a heart attack."

He's underneath the window, she's singing, "Hey, la, my boyfriend's back"

You shouldn't come around here singing up at people like that

Anyway, what you gonna do about it?

Juliet

The dice was loaded from the start

And I bet

Then you exploded in my heart

I forget, I forget

The movie song

When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong?

Juliet

Come up on different streets, they both were streets of shame

Both dirty, both mean, yes and the dream was just the same

And I dreamed your dream for you, now your dream is real

How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?

When 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

Promised me everything

Promised me thick and thin, yeah

Now you just say, "Oh, Romeo, yeah. You know, I used to have a scene with him."

Juliet

When we made love you used to cry

You said, "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til I die."

There's a place for us

You know the movie song

When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong?

Juliet

And I can't do the talk

Like they talk on the TV

And I can't do a love song

Like the way it's meant to be

Can't do everything but I'd do anything for you

Can't do anything except be in love with you

And all I do is miss you

And the way we used to be

All I do is keep the beat

The bad company

All I do is kiss you

Through the bars of a rhyme

Juliet, I'd do the stars with you, any time

Juliet

When we made love you used to cry

You said, "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til I die."

There's a place for us

You know the movie song

When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong?

Juliet

And a lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade

Laying everybody low

With a love song that he made

Finds a streetlight

Steps out of the shade, and says something like

"You and me babe"

"How 'bout it?"

You and me babe

How 'bout it?

Measured a thousand cubits

And he brought me through the waters

And waters were to the ankles

Again, he measured a thousand cubits and brought me through the waters

And the waters there were to the knees

And again he measured a thousand and brought me through

And the waters there were to the loins

Afterward, he measured a thousand and it was a river that I could not pass over

For the waters had risen, waters to swim in

A river that could not be passed over
