• 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
    I 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

    '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 try 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

    I got tired of waiting
    Wondering if you were ever coming around
    My faith in you is 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
    'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
