We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I walked with you and your friend's home from school
You had that look inside your eyes and I could see you were so down
I knew I had it in me to change it all the way around, fasho
Little, did we know

That I was Romeo, I wanted this forever
And your daddy said "stay away from Juliet"
And you were crying on the staircase begging me "please don't go"
And you said "Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
You'll be waiting, All there's left to do is run
You can be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes"

We'd sneak out on all the nights that we shouldn't have
All of the mornings I was late for school because of you
But I preferred the nights with you

Cause I was Romeo and you're a scarlet letter
And your daddy said "stay away from Juliet"
But you were everything to me so I was begging you "please don't go"

And you said "Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
You'll be waiting, All there's left to do is run
You can be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes"
And you said, "Romeo, take me
I'm not sure if it's even real"
Baby, I promise, this is how I truly feel
Don't be afraid, we can make it out of this mess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes
