Love Story

We were both young when I first saw you
Closed my eyes, the flashback starts, I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air
See the lights, see the party, the ballgowns
Make a way through the crowd, and say hello
Little did I know

That you were on your window, throwing pebbles
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
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, I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes"

Aha, aha, aha

So I sneak out, we got him 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 lady
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
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, 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

Aha, aha, aha

But I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
Faith in you was fading
But 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
Just in my head, I don't know what to think

He knelt to the ground, then 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
Talk to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story, baby, just say yes"

Aha, aha, aha

We were both young when I first saw you
