Intro

We were both young when i first saw you

I close my eyes and the flashback starts

Im standing there on a ba lcony of summer air

See the lights, See the party the ball gowns

I see y ou make your way through the crowd

You say he llo

Little did i k now

That you were romeo you were throw ing pebbles

And my daddy said stay away from Ju liet

And i was cr ying on the staircase

Begging you please don't go, and i s aid

Ro meo take me somewhere we can be alone

I 'll be waiting all theres left to do is run

Y ou'll be the prince and i'll be the princess

Its a love story baby just say yes

S o i sneak out to the garden to see you

W e keep quite because we're dead if they know

S o close your eyes

Let’s ke ep this down for a little while

Cause you were Romeo I was a sca rlet letter

and my daddy said stay away from Ju liet

But you w ere everything to me

and i was begging you please don't go and i said

R omeo take me somewhere we can be alone

I 'll be waiting all theres left to do is run

Y ou be the prince i'll be the princess

Its a love story baby just say yes

Ro meo save me, try to tell me how it is

Th is love is difficult, but its real,

Sa ve me from the breakdown, make it out of looseness

Its a love story b aby just say yes, oh

Solo

I got tired of waiting, wondering if you were ever co ming around

My faith in you was fad ing

Then i met you on the outskirts of to wn and i said

Ro meo save me i've been feeling so alone

I k eep waiting for you but you never come

Is t his in my head, i don't know what to think

He nelt to the ground and pu lled out a ring and said

Ma rry me Juliet you'll never have to be alone

I l ove you and thats all I really know

I t alked to your dad go pick out a white dress

Its a love story baby just say y es

Oh, oh, yes

We were very young when i first saw y ou
