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 throwin' (pebbles )
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
And I was cryin' on the ( staircase)
Beggin' 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 (sneaked ) 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 beggin' 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 tryna 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
I got ( out) of waiting
(Wondering ) if you were ever comin' around
My (faith ) in you was ( fading)
When I met you on the ( outskirt) 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
