We were both young when I first saw you.
I close my eyes, and the flashback starts.
I'm standing there, on the balcony in summer air.

I see the lights, see the party, the ballgowns.
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 that's left to do is run.
You 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 he 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, begging you, "Please don't go".

And I said,
"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 of this mess,
It's a love story, baby, just say, 'yes'."

Well, 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,"

You 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."
