A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Finds a streetlight, steps out of the shade
Says something like «You and me, babe, how about it?»
Juliet says «Hey, it’s Romeo! You nearly give 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, whatcha gonna do about it?»
Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start
And I bet and you exploded into my heart
And I forget, I forget the movie song
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?
We 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 till 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 its meant to be
I can’t do everything but I’ll do anything for you
I can’t do anything except 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 to Bad Company
All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
Julie, I’d do the stars with you, anytime
Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
You said «I love you like the stars above, I’ll love you till 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, he sings the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Finds a convenient streetlight, steps out of the shade
And says something like «You and me, babe, how ’bout it?
You and me, babe, how ’bout it…»
