We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
You're standing there
On a balcony in summer air
See the lights
See the party, the ball gowns
Making my way, I'm moving through the crowd
To say hello, little did you know
That I was Romeo, as I was throwing pebbles
Heard your father say Stay away from Juliet!
Had to leave you crying on the staircase
Begging me please don't go, so I said
Juliet, I'll take you somewhere we can be alone
Just be patient, nothing left to but run
You'll be the princess, I'll be the prince
It's a love story baby just say yes
So you sneak out to the garden, I'm hiding
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they find me
Close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while
I was Romeo, you were my Juliet
Even my father said loving you was not worth it
Had to leave you crying on the staircase
Begging me please don't go, so I said
Juliet, I'll take you somewhere we can be alone
Just be patient, nothing left to but run
You'll be the princess, I'll be the prince
It's a love story baby just say yes
Juliet I'll save you, they'll never come between us
Just hold on, the love is gonna free us
Don't be afraid, we'll make it through this
It's a love story baby just say yes
I'm sure she's tired of waiting
I swear I'm on my way, just had to work some things out
I hope her faith's not fading
That was when I met her on the outskirts of town, and I said
Juliet, I apologize, didn't mean to scare you
Need you more than anything, and I refuse to share you
Saw it in her eyes, she didn't know what to think
I knelt to the ground and I 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 our families, pick out a 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
