  • 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 that'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 that'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 try 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 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 knelts 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

  • 'Cause we were both young when I first saw you...

We were both young when I first saw you.
