We were both young when I first saw you, I close my eyesAnd the flashback startsI'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 staircaseBegging 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 '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 letterAnd 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 try to tell me how to feelThis 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 is fadingWhen 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 Cause we were both young when I first saw you .
