ÿþwe 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  

chorus  

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  

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  

chorus  

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  

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  

chorus  

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 oh  

cause we were both young when i first saw you
