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
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
´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
And 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, go pick out a white dress It´s a love story, baby, just say ´Yes´"
