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 "ello"

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

Julie I'll take you somewhere we can be alone
Just be patient nothing left to do but run
You'll be the princess, I'll be the prince
It's a love story baby 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 is not worth it
Had to leave you on crying on the staircase begging me "Please don't go!"

So I said

Chorus

Julie I'll save you, they'll never come between us!
Just hold on and love is gonna free us!
Don't be afraid, oh we'll make it through this!
It's a love story baby just say "Yes"

I'm sure she's tired of waiting
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 outskirts of town

And I said

Julie I apologize, didn't mean to scare you
Need you more than anything 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 that I really know!
I talked to our families, pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say "Yes"

Cause we were both young when I first saw you
