[Verse 1]

We were both y

oung, when I f

irst saw you
  
I close my eye

s and the flas

hback starts
             
I'm standing t

             
here, on a bal

        
cony in summer

 air

See the lights

; see the part

y, the ball go

wns

See you make y

our way throug

h the crowd
            
And say hello,

            
 little did I 

know

[Pre-Chorus]
             
That you were 

              
Romeo, you wer

  
e throwing peb

bles
           
And my daddy s

              
aid "Stay away

      
 from Juliet"
          
And I was cryi

ng on the stai

rcase
             
begging you, "

             
Please don't g

  
o..."
    
And I said

[Chorus 1]

Romeo take me 

somewhere we c

an be alone

I'll be waitin

g; all there's

 left to do is

 run

You'll be the 

prince and I'l

l be the princ

ess
             
It's a love st

     
ory, baby, jus

t say yes

[Verse 2]
   
So I sneak out

 to the garden

 to see you

We keep quiet,

 'cause we're 

dead if they k

new
              
So close your 

            
eyes... escape

              
 this town for

   
 a little whil

e, o, Oh.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
             
Cause you were

              
 Romeo - I was

    
 a scarlet let

ter
           
And my daddy s

              
aid "stay away

       
 from Juliet" 
             
but you were e

verything to m

e
             
I was begging 

              
you, "Please d

       
on't go"
    
And I said

[Chorus 2]
             
Romeo take me 

              
somewhere, we 

can be alone

I'll be waitin

g; all there's

 left to do is

 run

You'll be the 

prince and I'l

l be the princ

ess
             
It's a love st

     
ory, baby, jus

t say yes

Romeo save me,

 they're tryin

g to tell me h

ow to feel

This love is d

ifficult, but 

it's real

Don't be afrai

d, we'll make 

it out of this

 mess
             
It's a love st

     
ory, baby, jus

t say yes
    
Oh, Oh.

[Bridge]
              
I got tired of

   
 waiting
             
  Wondering if

             
 you were ever

         
 coming around
              
My faith in yo

       
u was fading
             
When I met you

              
 on the outski

       
rts of town

And I said...

[Chorus]
             
Romeo save me,

 
 I've been fee

ling so alone

I keep waiting

, for you but 

you never come
   
Is this in my 

head, I don't 

know what to t

hink
             
He knelt to th

             
e ground and p

ulled out a ri

ng and said

[Chorus 3]

Marry me Julie

t, you'll neve

r have to be a

lone

I love you, an

d that's all I

 really know
  
I talked to yo

ur dad -- go p

ick out a whit

e dress
             
It's a love st

             
ory, baby just

      
 say... yes

[Outro]
            
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

     
, Oh.
             
'cause we were

              
 both young wh
