Lyrics

Romeo And Juliet

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

A love struck Romeo sings the streets a serenade

He's laying everybody low

He's got a love song that he made

He finds a convenient streetlight and he 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 the 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?

Juliet

The dice were loaded from the start

And I bet and you exploded into my heart

And I forgit, I forget the movie song

Now when you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong

Julie

We both come up on different streets

And they both were streets of shame

Both dirty both mean

Yes and even the dreams were the same

Well 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 was just another one of yourdeals

Now you can fall for chains of silver

And you can fall for chains of gold

You fall for pretty strangers

And the promises they hold

Well you promised me everything and then you promised me thickand thin

But now you just turn away and you say,

"Romeo, I think I used to have a scene with him

Oh Juliet

When we made love you used to cry

You said "I love you like the stars above

Gonna love you 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

But I can't do the talk like they talk on my TV screen

I can't do a love song not the way you sung it to me

I can't do everything but I would do anything for you

Ah no 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

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

Oh Juliet

When we made love I used to cry

I said I'll love you like the stars above

I'm gonna love you 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 he sings the streets a serenade

He's laying everybody low he's got a love song that he made

And he finds a convenient streetlight and he'll step out of theshade and he'll say something like

"You and me, babe, how about it?"
