• We were both young when I first saw you
    I closed 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
    I 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

    Oh oh
    Cause you were Romeo, I was the scarlet letter
    And my daddy said, "stay away from Juliet"
    But you were my 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 try to tell me how I 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 oh

    I got tired of waiting
    Wondering if you were ever coming around
    My faith in you is 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

    Oh oh oh
    Oh oh oh oh

    'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
