We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyesAnd the flashback starts
I'm standing thereOn a balcony of summer air
See the lights, See the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowdYou say hello
Little did I knowThat you were Romeo you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from JulietAnd 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 runYou'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yesSo I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet cause we're dead if they knowSo close your eyes
Escape this town for a little whileCause you were Romeo I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from JulietBut 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 runYou'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yesRomeo save me, they try 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 messIt's a love story baby just say yes, oh,
I got tired of waitingWondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you was fadingWhen I met you on the outskirts of town I said:
Romeo save me I've been feeling so aloneI keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head, I don't know what to thinkHe 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 knowI talked to your dad go pick out a
white dress It's a love story baby just say yesOh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, ohCause we were both young when I first saw you
