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
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
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
you'll be the prince and i'll be this 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
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 feel
this love is difficult , but it's real
don't be afraid now we'll get out of this mess
it's a love story
baby, just say yes
i got tired of waiting wondering if you were ever coming around
my faith in you is 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 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
We were both young when I first saw you
Oh, oh, oh, oh
We were both young when I first saw you
