    we were both young when i first saw you
    i close my eyes
    and the flashback starts
    im standing there
    on a balcony of summer air

    see the lights,
    see the party the ball gowns
    see you make your way through the crowd
    you 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 dont go, and i said

    romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
    ill be waiting all theres left to do is run
    youll be the prince and ill be the princess
    its a love story baby just say yes

    so i sneak out to the garden to see you
    we keep quiet because were dead if they knew
    so close your eyes
    lets 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 dont go and i said

    romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
    ill be waiting all theres left to do is run
    you be the prince and ill be the princess
    its a love story baby just say yes

    romeo save me, they're tryin to tell me how to feel
    this love is difficult, but its real
    dont be afraid well make it out of this mess
    its 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 was fading
    when i met you on the outskirts of town, and I said

    romeo save me ive been feeling so alone
    i keep waiting for you but you never come
    is this in my head, i dont know what to think
    he knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said

    marry me juliet youll never have to be alone
    i love you and thats all I really know
    i talked to your dad go pick out a white dress
    its a love story baby just say yes
    oh, oh, yes
    we were both young when i first saw you
