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
