Love Story

We were both young when I first saw you I close my eyes and the flashback starts I'm standing there on a balcony of summer air I see the lights, see the party, the ball gowns You see me make my way through the crowd And say, "Hello" (and say, "Hello") Little did you know That I was Romeo, and I was throwing pebbles And your daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet" And you were crying on the staircase Begging me, "Please don't go" And you 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, yeah" 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 'Cause I was Romeo, you were a scarlet letter And your daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet" But you were everything to me You were begging me, "Please don't go" And I said, "Juliet, I'll take you somewhere we can be alone Just keep waiting, all there's left to do is run I'll be the prince, and you'll be the princess 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 real Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess It's a love story, baby, just say, yeah I got tired of waiting Wondering if you were ever coming around My faith in you was fading When I met you at the outskirts of town You 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" Then I knelt on the ground and pulled out a ring And 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, you'll pick out a white dress It's a love story, baby, just say, yeah"
