Love Story

We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standin' 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 throwin' pebbles
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Julian"
I was cryin' on the staircase
Beggin' 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 prince, too
It's a love story, baby, just say"

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

'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Julian"
But you were everything to me
I was beggin' 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 prince, too
It's a love story, baby, just say, 'Yes'"

"Romeo, save me, they're tryna tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's a-real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story, baby, just say, 'Yes'"

Oh, baby, baby, just say, "Yes"

I got tired of waiting
Wonderin' if you were ever comin' around
My faith in you was, ooh, 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, Julian, 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, say, "Yes"
Oh, Julian, Julian
