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 Ты make your way through the crowd
And say, "Hello, "
Little did I know...

That Ты were Romeo, Ты 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 that's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess,
It's a Любовь 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.

'Cause Ты were Romeo – I was a scarlet letter,
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet."
But Ты 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 that's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess.
It's a Любовь story, baby, just say, 'Yes.'

Romeo, save me, they try to tell me how to feel.
This Любовь is difficult but it's real.
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess.
It's a Любовь story, baby, just say, 'Yes.'"

Oh, oh.

I got tired of waiting
Wondering if Ты were ever coming around.
My faith in Ты was fading
When I met Ты on the outskirts of town.
And I said...

"Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting for Ты but Ты 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 Любовь you, and that's all I really know.
I talked to your dad – go pick out a white dress
It's a Любовь story, baby, just say, 'Yes.'"

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

'Cause we were both young when I first saw you...
