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, 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
