Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A love struck Romeo
Sings the streets a serenade
Now, he's laying everybody low
He's got a love song that he made
He finds a convenient streetlight
And he steps out of the shade
And he says something like
"You and me, babe, how about it?"
[Verse 2]
Juliet says, "Hey, it's Romeo"
"You nearly gave me a heart attack"
Yeah, well, he's underneath my window
And she's singing, "Hey-la, my boyfriend's back"
"You shouldn't come around here singing up to people like that"
"Ah, anyway, watch ya gonna do about it?"
[Verse 3]
Juliet, the dice were loaded from the start
And I bet and you exploded into my heart
And I forget, I forget the movie song
When you gonna realize
It was just that the time was wrong, Julie
[Verse 4]
We both come up on different streets
And they were both the streets of shame
You know they're both dirty, both mean
Yes and even the dreams were the same
And I dreamed your dream for you
And now your dream is real, so, tell me, honey
Now, how can you look at me
As if I was just another one of your deals
[Verse 5]
Now, you can fall for chains of silver
And you can fall for chains of gold
You know, you fall for pretty strangers
And the promises they hold
Well, you promised me everything
And they you, and then you promised me thick and thin
And now, you're just turn away and say
"Romeo, I think I used to have a scene with him"
[Verse 6]
Oh, Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
You said, "I love you like the stars above"
"gonna love you 'till I die"
There's a place for us
I know you know this song
Now, when you gonna realize
It was just that the time was wrong, Julie
I'm so in love
So in love
Yeah
[Verse 7]
But I can't do the talk
Like they talk on my TV screen
I can't do love song
Not the way you song them to me
I can't do anything but I would
Do anything for you
Oh, no, I can't do anything except
Be in love with you
Yeah, now, all I do is miss you
And the way it used to be, you know
And all I do is keep the beats
I keep bad, bad company
And all I do is kiss you
Through the bars of this rhyme
When Julie, I'd the stars with you, anytime
[Verse 8]
Oh, Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
You said, "I love you like the stars above"
"I'm gonna love you 'till I die"
There's a place for us
I know you know the movie song
One day we're gonna realize
It was just that the time was wrong, Julie
Julie
Julie
Now, this love struck Romeo
He sings the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low
He's got a long song that he made
He finds a convenient streetlight
And he'll, he'll step out of the shade
And he'll say something like
"You and me, babe, how about it?"
