Love Story

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, 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
Oh-oh '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'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
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 was
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 he 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,
you'll pick out a white
dress It's a love
story baby, just say yes
Oh-oh

Oh-oh, Ôcause
we were both young
when I first saw you
