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 life story - baby just say 'Yes.'"

Oh. Oh.

I got tired of waiting,

Wonderin' 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.

Oh, oh.

We were both young when I first saw you...
