Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Juliet
[Verse 2]
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Juliet
[Verse 3]
Love is everything you said it was
Love is rain upon the roof at night
I'm just trying to write some words
Through the bars of a rhyme this time
Thinking back to when I was a child
I was trying to become someone
I can still remember road signs
Let's have a toast to the sulking boy
[Verse 4]
God, guess some lives were made to be wasted
I've tried and I'm trying, yes, I truly hate it
[Verse 5]
Sing
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Juliet
[Verse 6]
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Juliet
[Verse 7]
Now the child is a young man
Everyday is like a rolling storm
And he's playing in a covers band
Does a Sunday in a clothing store
Won't you stay until sunrise?
You could maybe help find my voice
Tell me everything is alright
We'll sing a song for the sulking boy
[Verse 8]
God, guess some lives were made to be wasted
I've tried and I'm trying, yes, I truly hate it
[Verse 9]
Sing
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Juliet
[Verse 10]
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Juliet
[Verse 11]
The devil's in the detail
Life is the ship we sail
The devil's in the detail
Life is the ship we sail
[Verse 12]
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Juliet
[Verse 13]
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Juliet
[Verse 14]
Love is everything you said it was
Love is rain upon the roof at night
I'm just trying to write some words
Through the bars of a rhyme this time
Thinking back to when I was a child
I was trying to become someone
I can still remember road signs
Let's have a toast to the sulking boy
[Verse 15]
God, guess some lives were made to be wasted
I've tried and I'm trying, yes, I truly hate it
[Verse 16]
Sing
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Juliet
[Verse 17]
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Juliet
[Verse 18]
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Juliet
[Verse 19]
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Ooh la la
Juliet
