This is a story 'bout a boy and a girl
Tryin' find a life in the big world
Somehow they're together

There ain't much to the mystery
Misery loves company
She just waves her hand and says whatever
Well this ain't love, this ain't love
This ain't love at all, and he says...

We're not Romeo, we're not Juliet
How long does it take, to fill this emptyness
We're just two lost souls and baby we got no regrets
We don't wanna say bye-bye
Babe it's just you and I
We're not Romeo - we're not Juliet

He ain't pretty with his hard old heart
Second generation immigrant scars
And he knows that this ain't heaven, no

She's all skinny like a cigarette
And he's the only thing - the only thing that she respects
And he's trying to make it better
This ain't love, this ain't love
This ain't love at all, and she says...
We're not Romeo we're not Juliet
You'd thought you'd seen it all - but you ain't seen nothin' yet
We're just two lost souls and baby we got no regrets
Now it's just you and I
We're nothin' unless we try
We're not Romeo - not Juliet

It has to feel right but it never does
It has to be perfect but it never is
You wanna be sure but you never do
We're not Romeo or Juliet - it's just me and you

We're just two lost souls and baby we got no regrets
We don't wanna say bye-bye
Babe it's just you and I
We're not Romeo
We're not Juliet
No, no, no
We're not Romeo, we're not Juliet
Oh, how long does it take to fill this emptyness
We're just two lost souls and baby we got no regrets

Now it's just you and I
We're nothin' unless we try - oh no
We're not Romeo or Juliet
No we're not - that's a fact
