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 you say hello   Little did I know      That you were Juliet    You were throwing pebbles   And my daddy said, "Stay away from Romeo,"   And I was crying on the staircase   Begging you, "Please don't go,"   And I said      Juliet, take me   Somewhere we can be alone   I'll be waiting   All there's left to do is run   You'll be the princess   I'll be the prince   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 know   So close your eyes   Escape this town for a little while      'Cause you were Juliet   I was a scarlet letter   And my daddy said, "Stay away from Romeo,"   But you were everything to me   I was begging you, "Please don't go,"   And I said   [2x]   And said Juliet, take me   Somewhere we can be alone   I'll be waiting   All there's left to do is run   You'll be the princess   And I'll be the prince   It's a love story   Baby, just say yes      And I got tired of waiting   Wondering if you were ever coming around   My faith in you is fading, [yeah]   When I met you on the outskirts of town   And I said      Juliet, take 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   I 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   You'll pick out a white dress   It's a love story   Baby, just say yes      We were both young when I first saw you
