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
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 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.
Oh, Oh.

Cause you were Romeo- I was the 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.

But 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.
