Romeo And Juliet

Lyrics

A love-struck Romeo
 Sings a street-side serenade
 He's layin' everybody low
 He's got a love song that he made
 He finds a convenient street light
 And steps out of the shade, and says something like
 "You and me babe, how about it?"
 Juliet says, "Hey it's Romeo
 You nearly gave me a heart attack" yeah well
 He's underneath my window, now she's singing
 'Hey-la my boyfriend's back'
 You shouldn't come around here
 Singing up to people like that
 Oh, anyway, whatcha gonna do about it?
 O Juliet, the dice were loaded from the start
 And I bet... and you exploded into my heart
 And I forget, I forget, the movie song
 When are you gonna realize
 It was just that the time was wrong
 Juliet
 Well we both come up on different streets
 And they were both streets of shame
 You know, they're both dirty, both mean
 And yes even our dreams were the same
 But I dreamed your dream for you
 And now your dream is real, so tell me honey
 Now how can you look at me as if i were just another one of your deals?
 Now you can fall for chains of silver
 And you can fall for chains of gold
 You know, you fall for pretty strangers
 And the promises they hold
 Well you promised me everything, and then
 And then you promised me thick and thin
 And now you just turn away
 And say Romeo? I think i used to have a scene with him
 O Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
 You said I love you like the stars above
 Gonna love ya till I die
 There's a place for us
 I know you know this song
 Now when you gonna realize
 It was just that the time was wrong?
 Julie, I'm so in love
 So in love, yeah
 ♪
 But I can't do the talk
 Like they talk on my t.v. screen
 I can't do a love song
 Not the way you sung it to me
 I can't do anything but I would
 Do anything for you
 I can't do anything except
 Be in love with you, yeah
 Now all I do is miss you
 And the way it used to be, you know
 And all I do is keep the beat
 I keep bad, bad company
 And all I do is kiss you
 Through the bars of this rhyme
 When, Julie, 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'm gonna love ya till I die
 There's a place for us
 I know, you know, the movie song
 One day we're gonna realize
 It was just that the time was wrong
 Julie, Julie, Julie
 ♪
 Now this love struck romeo
 Sings a street-side serenade
 He's lettin' everybody know
 He's got a love song that he made
 He finds a convenient street light
 And he'll step out of the shade and he'll say something like
 You and me babe, how about it?
