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

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
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go.. and I said

Chorus:
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

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 whi..ile
Oh 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 beggin' you please don't go and I said

CHORUS-

Romeo save me, they're tryin' 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

Oh oh

I got tired of waiting
Wonderin' if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is 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 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 oh

Cause we were both young when I first saw you...
