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 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 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 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
Oh, oh

But I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming 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, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
`Cause we were both young when I first saw you
