Love Story

We were both young when I first saw you I close my eyes and the flashback starts I'm standin' 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 throwin' pebbles And my daddy said, "Stay away from Julian" I was cryin' on the staircase Beggin' 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 prince, too It's a love story, baby, just say" 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, oh 'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter And my daddy said, "Stay away from Julian" But you were everything to me I was beggin' 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 prince, too It's a love story, baby, just say, 'Yes'" "Romeo, save me, they're tryna tell me how to feel This love is difficult, but it's a-real Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess It's a love story, baby, just say, 'Yes'" Oh, baby, baby, just say, "Yes" I got tired of waiting Wonderin' if you were ever comin' around My faith in you was, ooh, 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, Julian, 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, say, "Yes" Oh, Julian, Julian
