We were both young, when I first saw you I close my eyes and the flashback starts Im standing there, on a balcony of summer air
I see the lights, see the party, the ball gowns I see you make your way through the crowd You say hello, little did I know
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 dont go And I said
Romeo take me somewhere, we can be alone Ill be waiting, all theres left to do is run Youll be the prince and Ill be the princess, Its a love story, baby, just say yes
So I sneak out to the garden to see you We keep quiet, because were dead if they knew So close your eyes Escape this town for a little while Oh, Ohhh
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 dont go And I said
Romeo take me somewhere, we can be alone Ill be waiting, all theres left to do is run Youll be the prince and Ill be the princess Its a love story, baby, just say yes
Romeo save me, theyre trying to tell me how to feel This love is difficult, but its real Dont be afraid, well make it out of this mess Its a love story, baby, just say yes Oh, Ohhh
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 And I said
Romeo save me, Ive been feeling so alone I keep waiting, for you but you never come Is this in my head, I dont know what to think He kneels to the ground and pulled out a ring and said
Marry me Juliet, youll never have to be alone I love you, and thats all I really know I talked to your dad-youll pick the white dress Its a love story, baby just say yes Oh, Ohhh Oh, Oh, Ohhh We were both young when I first saw you.
