They were both young when she first him you.
She closed her eyes and the flashback starts:
She's standing there on a balcony in summer air.
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.
See his make your way through the crowd
And say, "Hello, "
Little did I know...
That he was Romeo, he was throwing pebbles,
And her daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
And she was crying on the staircase
Begging you, "Please don't go"
And she said...
"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all that'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 she sneaks out to the garden to see you.
They keep quiet 'cause they're dead if they knew
So close and close eyes... escape this town for a little while.
Oh, oh.
That he was Romeo, he was throwing pebbles,
And her daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
And she was crying on the staircase
Begging you, "Please don't go"
And she said...
"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all that'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 try 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.
She got tired of waiting
Wondering if he was ever coming around.
Her faith in him was fading
When she met him on the outskirts of town.
And she 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, oh.
'Cause they were both young when I first saw you...
