We were both young when I first saw you 　　
I closed 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 　　
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 　
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 while 　　
Oh, 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 begging you please don't go 　　
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 　　
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 　　
Oh,oh 　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 　　
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, 　　
You'll pick out a white dress 　　　
It's a love story, baby, just say yes 　　
Oh, oh, oh, oh 　　
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
