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 there'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, 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 there'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're trying 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
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 knelt to the ground and he 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
Well you done done me and you bet I felt it I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted I fell right through the cracks and now I'm trying to get back Before the cool done run out I'll be giving it my bestest and nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some
But I won't hesitate no more, no more It cannot wait, I'm yours
Mmmmhmmm-Mmmmhhmmm, Mmmmmhmmm (Heeeeey heeeey)
Open up your mind and see like me Open up your plans and damn you're free Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love Listen to the music of the moment People dance and sing We're just one big family And It's our God-forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved
So I won't hesitate no more, no more It cannot wait, I'm sure There's no need to complicate Our time is short This is our fate, I'm yours
D-d-do do you, do you, d-d-do, do you want to come? Scooch on over closer dear, I'll whisper in your ear Wo-ooo-o-oh who-oo-o-o-oh
I've been spending way too long tricking my tongue in the mirror And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer But my breath fogged up the glass And so I drew a new face and laughed I guess what I be saying is there ain't no better reason To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons It's what we aim to do Our name is our virtue
But I won't hesitate no more, no more It cannot wait, I'm yours
Open up your mind and see like me (I won't hesitate) Open up your plans and damn you're free (No more, no more) I look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours (It cannot wait, I'm sure)
So please don't, please don't, please don't (There's no need to complocate) There's no need to complocate (Our time is short) 'Cause our time is short (This is our fate) This is oh, this is oh, this is our fate I'm yours
