Love Story

[Verse 1]

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

You see me make my way through the crowd

And say, "Hello"

Little did you know

[Pre-Chorus 1]

That I was Romeo and I was throwing pebbles

And your daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"

And you were crying on the staircase

Begging me, "Please don't go"

And you said

[Chorus]

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone

I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run

I'll be the prince and you'll be the princess

It's a love story, baby, just say "Yes"

[Verse 2]

So I snuck out to the garden to see you

And we keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew

So close your eyes

Escape this town for a little while

[Pre-Chorus 2]

'Cause I was Romeo, you were a scarlet letter

And your daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"

But you were everything to me

And you were begging me, "Please don't go"

And you said

[Chorus]

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone

I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run

I'll be the prince and you'll be the princess

It's a love story, baby, just say "Yes"

Juliet, save me, they tried to tell me how to feel

This love is difficult, but it is real

Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess

It's a love story, baby, just say "Yes"

[Post-Chorus]

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

[Bridge]

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, you said

[Breakdown]

"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,"

Then I kneel on the ground and pull out a ring and said

[Outro]

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; you'll pick out the 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
