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 this 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 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 this princess

It's a love story Baby just say yes

Romeo save me they try to tell me how it feels

This love is difficult but it's real

Don't be afraid now we'll get out of this mess

It's a love story Baby just say yes

Oh 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 groud 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 oh

We were both young when I first saw you
