Love Story

by 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,
You 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 trying 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"
Oh.. 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 thy 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"
