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.
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.
I see you make your way through the crowd
and 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, don't go'
And I 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 I'll be the princess
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'"
So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew.
So close your eyes;
escape this town for a little while.
'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, don't go'
And I 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 I'll be the princess
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes'
Romeo save me - they're tryin' to tell me how to feel;
This love is difficult, but it's real.
Don't be afraid; we'll make it out of this mess.
It's a life story - baby just say "Yes"
Oh.
I got tired of waiting,
Wondering if you were ever comin' around.
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town,
And I 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"
He knelt to the ground and pulled 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 - go pick out a white dress;
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes'"
Oh, oh.
