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
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
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 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
Oh 
oh oh

Oh oh oh
Cause we were both young
When I first saw you
