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.

I see the lights
See the party
The ball gowns.
You see me make my way through the crowd
And say hello
Little did you know...

That I was Romeo
And I was throwing pebbles
And your daddy said
"Stay away from Juliet"
And you were crying on the staircase
Begging me please don't go...
And you said...

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run.
I'll be the prince and you'll be the princess,
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes.

So I sneak out to the garden to see you
And we keep quiet
Cuz we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes...
Escape this town for a little while.

Cause I was Romeo - You were a scarlet letter,
And your daddy said
"Stay away from Juliet"
But you were everything to me
And you were begging me, please don't go,
And you said...

Romeo take me somewhere, we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
I'll be the prince and you'll be the princess.
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes.

Juliet save me
They're trying to tell me how to feel.
This love is difficult
But it is real.
Don't be afraid
We'll make it out of this mess.
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes.

I got tired of waiting.
Wondering if you were ever coming around.
My faith in you is fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town.
You 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,
Then I knelt on the ground
And pull out a ring and said...

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-you'll pick the white dress
It's a love story
Baby just say... yes
Cuz we were both young when I first saw you
