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

You're the diamond angel in the crowd

I bid adieu

How I wish you knew

That I was Romeo, and we were both rebels

Your father said "Stay away from Juliet"

And I was heading down the staircase

My right told me "no"

Juliet if only we could have a time alone

I'll be coming

All there's left to do is run

I'll be the prince and you'll be the princess

It's a love story just say "yes"

So I sneak out to the garden to see you

We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew

I close my eyes

Escape this town for a little while

'Cause you were Juliet, you were a scarlet letter

But your father said "Stay away from Juliet"

Though you were everything to me

I knew I had to go

But I wished

"Juliet if only we could have a time alone

I'll be coming

All there's left to do is run

I'll be the prince and you'll be the princess

It's a love story just say 'yes'"

Juliet's lonely, and fate seems to have another deal

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 left after midnight

Clouded with doubts in my mind

Are these feelings truly right?

I stayed away for a long time

My heart said

Juliet I love you, I'm trying hard to work it out

I want to be with you but we're both afraid

I made up my mind, there were no second thoughts

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, go pick out a white dress

It's a love story baby just say 'yes'"

Oh oh

Cause we were both young when I first saw you
