Lyrics

A love-struck Romeo Sings a street-side serenade He's layin' everybody low He's got a love song that he made He finds a convenient street light And steps out of the shade, and says something like "You and me babe, how about it?" Juliet says, "Hey it's Romeo You nearly gave me a heart attack" yeah well He's underneath my window, now she's singing 'Hey-la my boyfriend's back' You shouldn't come around here Singing up to people like that Oh, anyway, whatcha gonna do about it? O Juliet, the dice were loaded from the start And I bet... and you exploded into my heart And I forget, I forget, the movie song When are you gonna realize It was just that the time was wrong Juliet Well we both come up on different streets And they were both streets of shame You know, they're both dirty, both mean And yes even our dreams were the same But I dreamed your dream for you And now your dream is real, so tell me honey Now how can you look at me as if i were just another one of your deals? Now you can fall for chains of silver And you can fall for chains of gold You know, you fall for pretty strangers And the promises they hold Well you promised me everything, and then And then you promised me thick and thin And now you just turn away And say Romeo? I think i used to have a scene with him O Juliet, when we made love you used to cry You said I love you like the stars above Gonna love ya till I die There's a place for us I know you know this song Now when you gonna realize It was just that the time was wrong? Julie, I'm so in love So in love, yeah But I can't do the talk Like they talk on my t.v. screen I can't do a love song Not the way you sung it to me I can't do anything but I would Do anything for you I can't do anything except Be in love with you, yeah Now all I do is miss you And the way it used to be, you know And all I do is keep the beat I keep bad, bad company And all I do is kiss you Through the bars of this rhyme When, Julie, I'd do the stars with you, anytime Ah Juliet, when we made love you used to cry You said I love you like the stars above I'm gonna love ya till I die There's a place for us I know, you know, the movie song One day we're gonna realize It was just that the time was wrong Julie, Julie, Julie Now this love struck romeo Sings a street-side serenade He's lettin' everybody know He's got a love song that he made He finds a convenient street light And he'll step out of the shade and he'll say something like You and me babe, how about it?
