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 , youwere 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 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
Il'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 . . .
