Romeo And Juliet

Lyrics

A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
 Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
 Finds a street light, steps out of the shade
 Says something like, "You and me babe, how about it?"
 Juliet says, "Hey it's Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack"
 He's underneath the window
 She's singing, "Hey la, my boyfriend's back
 You shouldn't come around here, singing up at people like that
 Anyway, what you gonna do about it?"
 Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start
 And I bet, then you exploded in my heart
 And I forget, I forget, the movie song
 When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong?
 Juliet
 ♪
 Come up on different streets
 They both were streets of shame
 Both dirty, both mean, yes and the dream was just the same
 And I dreamed your dream for you, and now your dream is real
 How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?
 When you can fall for chains of silver
 You can fall for chains of gold
 You can fall for pretty strangers
 And the promises they hold
 You promised me everything
 You promised me thick and thin, yeah
 Now you just say, "Oh Romeo, yeah
 You know I used to have a scene with him"
 Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry
 You said, "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til I die"
 There's a place for us, you know the movie song
 When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong?
 Juliet
 ♪
 I can't do the talks, like they talk on the TV
 And I can't do a love song, like the way it's meant to be
 I can't do everything, but I'll do anything for you
 I can't do anything 'cept be in love with you
 And all I do is miss you, and the way we used to be
 All I do is keep the beat, the bad company
 And all I do is kiss you, through the bars of a rhyme
 Juliet, I'd do the stars with you, anytime
 Ah Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry
 You said, "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til I die"
 There's a place for us, you know the movie song
 When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong?
 Juliet
 ♪
 And a lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
 Laying everybody low, with a love song that he made
 Find a convenient streetlight, steps out of the shade
 And says something like, "You and me babe, how 'bout it?"
 ♪
 "You and me babe, how about it?"
