We were both young when I first saw you I close my eyes and the flashback starts I'm standing there on a balcony of summer air See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns See you make your way through the crowd You 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, save me, they try 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, oh 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 dress It's a love story baby just say yes Uh oh, uh oh We were both young when I first saw you
