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
I see the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And you say hello
Little did I know
That you were Juliet
You were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said, Stay away from Romeo,
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you, Please don't go,
And I said
Juliet, take me
Somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting
All there's left to do is run
You'll be the princess
I'll be the prince and
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 know
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while
'Cause you were Juliet
I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said, Stay away from Romeo,
But you were everything to me
I was begging you, Please don't go,
And I said Juliet, take me
Somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting
All there's left to do is run
You'll be the princess
And I'll be the prince and
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes
Juliet, take me
Somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting
All there's left to do is run
You'll be the princess
And I'll be the prince and
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes
And I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is fading, (yeah.)
When I met you on the outskirts of town
And I said
Juliet, take 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
I 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
You'll pick out a white dress
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes
We were both young when I first saw you
