Love Story

We were both young when I first laid eyes on you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in the summer breeze
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
See you making your way through the crowd
And say: Hi
Little did I know

That you were Romeo, tossing pebbles
And my dad said: Stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you: Please don't leave, and I said

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all that's left to do is run
You'll be the prince, and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, babe, just say: Yes

So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We stay quiet 'cause we're done for if they find out
So close your eyes
Let's escape this town for a little while, oh, oh

'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my dad said: Stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you: Please don't leave, and I said

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all that's left to do is run
You'll be the prince, and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, babe, just say: Yes
Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel
This love is tough, but it's real
Don't be scared, we'll get out of this mess
It's a love story, babe, 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 saw 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 show
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 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, babe, just say: Yes

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause we were both young when I first laid eyes on you
