We were both young when I first saw you

I close my eyes

&the flashback starts

I'm standing there

On a balcony on a 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

&my daddy said stay away from Juliet

&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 &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 'cos we're dead if they knew

So close your eyes

Escape this town for a little while

'Cos you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter

&my daddy said stay away from Juliet

But you were everything

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 &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 is 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 &pulled out a ring

&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

'Cos we were both young when I first saw you
