Romeo and Juliet

[Verse 1]

A love-struck Romeo sings a streetsuss serenade

Laying everybody low with a love song that he made

Finds a streetlight, steps out of the shade

Says something like, "You and me babe, how about it?"

Juliet says, "Hey, it's Romeo

You nearly gave me a heart attack"

He's underneath the window

She's singing, "Hey la, my boyfriend's back

You shouldn't come around here

Singing up to  people like that

Anyway, what ya gonna do about it?"

[Chorus]

"Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start

And I bet, when you exploded into my heart

And I forget, I forget the movie song

When you gonna realize

It was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?"

[Verse 2]

Come up on different streets

They both were streets of shame

Both dirty, both mean

Yes, and the dream was just the same

And I dreamed your dream for you

And now your dream is real

How can you look at me

As I was just another one of your deals?

Well you can fall for chains of silver

You can fall for chains of gold

You can fall for pretty strangers

And the promises they hold

You promised me everything

You promised me thick and thin, yeah

Now you just say, "Oh Romeo, yeah

You know I used to have a scene with him"

[Chorus]

"Juliet, when we made love you used to cry

You said I love you like the stars above, I'll love you ‘til I die

There's a place for us, you know the movie song

When you gonna realize

It was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?"

[Verse 3]

"I can't do the talks like they talk on the TV

And I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be

I can't do everything, but I'd do anything for you

I can't do anything except be in love with you

And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be

All I do is keep the beat to bad company

And all I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme

Juliet, I'd do the stars with you anytime"

[Chorus]

"Juliet, when we made love you used to cry

You said I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til I die

There's a place for us, you know the movie song

When you gonna realize

It was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?"

[Outro]

And a love-struck Romeo sings a streetsuss serenade

Laying everybody low with a love song that he made

Finds a convenient streetlight, steps out of the shade

Says something like, "You and me babe, how about it?"

"You and me babe, how about it?"
