Romeo And Juliet

See love struck Romeo
Hit the street on a serenade
And he's laying everybody low
With a love song that he made
He finds a streetlight
Steps out of the shade
Says something like
You and me, baby, how about it?
Juliet's gonna say: Hey, it's Romeo
You nearly gimme a heart attack
He's underneath my window she's singing
He, la my boyfriend's back
You shouldn't come around here
Singing up to people like that
Well, anyway
What you gonna do about it?
Juliet
When we made love, you used to cry
You said you love me like
The stars above you'd love me till you died
Well there's a place for us
And you know the movie song
When you gonna realize
It was just that the time was wrong?
We both came up on different streets
They both were streets of shame
Both dirty, both mean
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?
Oh no 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 know
You promised me thick and thin
Now you say: Oh Romeo
Yeah, I used to have a scene with him
Oh Juliet
When we made love you used to cry
Used to swear like the stars above
Well you'd love me till the day that we died
Well, there's a place for us
You know the movie song
When you gonna realize
It was just that the time was wrong?
I can't do the talk
Like they talk on TV
And I can't do a love song
Like the way it's meant to be
I can't do everything
But I'd do anything for you
Juliet, all I can do
Is 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
In this rock n roll company
All I do is kiss you
Through the bars of a rhyme
Juliet, I'd do the stars with you
Any time
Oh Juliet
When we made love you used to cry
Used to swear like the stars above
Well, you'd love me till the day that we died
There's a place for us
You know the movie song
When you gonna realize
It was just that the time was wrong?
