Love Story
Taylor Swift
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
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 tryin' 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 comin' 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 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
We were both young when I first saw you
