We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
Im 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 dont go, and I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
Ill be waiting all theres left to do is run
Youll be the prince and Ill be the princess
Its a love story baby just say yes
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet cause its trouble 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 dont go and I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
Ill be waiting all theres left to do is run
Youll be the prince and Ill be the princess
Its a love story baby just say yes
Romeo save me, they try to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but its real
Dont be afraid, well make it out of this mess
Its 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 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 dont know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said, marry me Juliet
Youll never have to be alone
I love you and thats all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
Its a love story baby just say yes
we were both young when I first saw you
