Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
See the lights, see the party, the ballgowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And say hello
Little did I know
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Huh, oh
'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
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
But 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
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
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
[Verse 11]
Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes
