Love Story

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
 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
 "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, oh, oh
 '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
 "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-oh
 ♪
 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-oh, oh
 'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
