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 tryin' 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
Comin' 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.'

Oh, oh
We were both young
When I first saw you
