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 gimme a heartattack
He's underneath the window, she's singing: Hey la, my boyfriend's back
You shouldn't come around here, singing up to 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 streets were 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 it's meant to me
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 and 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 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 sings the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Finds a convenient street light, steps out of the shade
Says something like: You and me, babe, how about it?
How about it?
