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.
I see you make your way through the crowd-
You 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, because 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 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 we were both young when I first saw you
