We were both young when I first saw you<br />I close my eyes and the flashback starts<br />I'm standin' there<br />On a balcony in summer air<br />See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns<br />See you make your way through the crowd<br />And say, "Hello"<br />Little did I know<br />That you were Romeo, you were throwin' pebbles<br />And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"<br />And I was cryin' on the staircase<br />Beggin' you, "Please don't go, " and I said<br />Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone<br />I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run<br />You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess<br />It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"<br />So I sneak out to the garden to see you<br />We keep quiet, 'cause we're dead if they knew<br />So close your eyes<br />Escape this town for a little while, oh oh<br />'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter<br />And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"<br />But you were everything to me<br />I was beggin' you, "Please don't go, " and I said<br />Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone<br />I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run<br />You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess<br />It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"<br />Romeo, save me, they're tryna tell me how to feel<br />This love is difficult, but it's real<br />Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess<br />It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"<br />Oh, oh<br />I got tired of waiting<br />Wonderin' if you were ever comin' around<br />My faith in you was fading<br />When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said<br />Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone<br />I keep waiting for you, but you never come<br />Is this in my head? I don't know what to think<br />He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring<br />And said, "Marry me, Juliet<br />You'll never have to be alone<br />I love you and that's all I really know<br />I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress<br />It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"<br />Oh, oh, oh<br />Oh, oh, oh, oh<br />'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
