[Verse 1]
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
You see me make my way through the crowd
And say, "Hello"
Little did you know

[Pre-Chorus 1]
That I was Romeo and I was throwing pebbles
And your daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
And you were crying on the staircase
Begging me, "Please don't go"
And you said

[Chorus]
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run
I'll be the prince and you'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby, just say "Yes"

[Verse 2]
So I snuck out to the garden to see you
And we keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while
[Pre-Chorus 2]
'Cause I was Romeo, you were a scarlet letter
And your daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
But you were everything to me
And you were begging me, "Please don't go"
And you said

[Chorus]
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run
I'll be the prince and you'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby, just say "Yes"
Juliet, save me, they tried to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it is real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story, baby, just say "Yes"

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh
Oh-oh

[Bridge]
I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town, you said
[Breakdown]
"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,"
Then I kneel on the ground and pull out a ring and said

[Outro]
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; you'll pick out the white dress
It's a love story, baby, just say "Yes"
Oh-oh, oh-oh
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
