Romeo and Juliet - Live

Lyrics

A lovestruck Romeo has got a serenade
 Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
 Finds a streetlight, steps out of the shade
 He says something like you and me babe how about it?
 Juliet says hey it's Romeo you nearly gimme me a heart attack
 He's underneath the window she's singing
 hey la my boyfriend's back
 You shouldn't come around here
 singing up at people like that
 Anyway what you gonna do about it?
 Juliet the dice were loaded from the start
 And I bet and you exploded in my heart
 And I forget I forget the movie song
 When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong,
 Juliet?
 Juliet
 We came up on different streets
 They both were streets of shame
 Both dirty yea, both mean
 yes and the dream was just the same
 And I dreamed your dream for you and so now your dream is real
 How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?
 Well you can fall for chains of silver you can fall for chains of gold
 You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
 You promised me everything you promised me thick and thin, yeah
 Now you just say oh Romeo yeah you know I used to have a scene with him
 Juliet when we made love you used to cry
 You said I love you like the stars above I'll love you till I die
 There's a place for us you know the movie song
 When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong Juliet?
 I can't do the talk like they talk on TV
 And I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be
 I can't do everything but I'd do anything for you
 I can't do anything except be in love with you
 And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
 All I do is keep the beat and the rock n roll company
 All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
 Julie I'd do the stars with you any time
 Juliet when we made love you used to cry
 You said I love you like the stars above I'll love you till I die
 There's a place for us you know the movie song
 When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong Juliet?
 A lovestruck Romeo sings a street suss serenade
 Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
 Finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade
 Says something like you and me babe how about it?
