We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I m standing there on a balconyn summer air
See the lights see the party the ballgowns
See you make your way to 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
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
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
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 dre
It s a love story baby just say yes
We were both young when I first saw you
