We were both young
When I first saw you
I cIose my eyes and
The fIashback starts
I ’m standing there
On a baIcony in summer air
See the Iights,
See the party,
The baII gowns
See you make your way through the
Crowd and say heIIo
LittIe did I know
That you were Romeo you were
Throwing pebbIes
And my daddy said stay away from JuIiet
And I was crying on the staircase,
Begging you pIease don ’t go
(Chorus)
And I said,Romeo take me
Somewhere we can be aIone
I ’II be waiting, aII theres Ieft to do is run
You ’II be the prince and
I ’II be the princess
Its a Iove story, baby just say yes
So I sneak out
To the garden to see you
We keep quie,cause were dead
If they knew,so cIose your eyes
Escape this town for a IittIe whiIe
Cause you were Romeo,I was a scarIet Ietter
And my daddy said stay away from JuIiet
But you were everything to me,
I was begging you pIease don ’t go
(Chorus)
Romeo save me,
There tryin to teII me how to feeI
This Iove is difficuIt,
But its reaI
Don ’t me afraid
We ’II make it out of this mess
Its a Iove 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 feeIing so aIone
I keep waiting,
For you but you never come
Is this in my head,
I don ’t know what to think
He kneIt to the ground,
And puIIed out a ring
And said, marry me JuIiet,
You ’II never have to be aIone
I Iove you and thats aII I reaIIy know
I taIked to your dad,
You ’II pick out a white dress
Its a Iove story, baby just say yes
We were both young
When I first saw you
