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,

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 gave me a heartattack'

He's underneath the window, she's singing, 'Hey now, myboyfriend'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 into 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 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 ascene with him'

Juliet, when we made love you used to cry

I said I love you like the stars above, I'll love you till I die

And 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 be

I can't do everything, but I'll do anything for you

I can't do anything 'cept 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

I said I love you like the stars above, I'll love you till I die

And 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 love struck 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?'

'You and me babe, how about it?'
