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.
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 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.
You'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, because we're dead if they knew-
So close your eyes... escape this town for a little while.
Oh, Oh.
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.
You'll be the prince and
I'll be the princess.It's a love story, baby,
just say yes-
Romeo save me,
they're trying 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 love story, baby, just say yes.
Oh, Oh.
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,
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, Oh, Oh, Oh.
'cause we were both young when I first saw you
