Love Story

LOVE STORY
By Taylor Swift

We were both young when I first saw you. 
I close my eyes and the flashback starts: 
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air. 

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns. 
See you make your way through the crowd 
and say hello; Little did I know 

That you were Romeo; you were throwing pebbles, 
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet." 
And I was crying on the staircase, begging you, 'Please, don't go.' 

And I said, "Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone. 

I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run. You'll be the prince 
and I'll be the princess It's a love story 
baby just say 'Yes.' 

So I sneak out to the garden to see you. 
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew. 
So close your eyes; escape this town for a little while. 

'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter, 
And my daddy said "Stay away from Juliet,"
But you were everything to me I was begging you, 'Please, don't go,' 

And I said, "Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone. 
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run. You'll be the prince 
and I'll be the princess It's a love story 
baby just say 'Yes.' 

Romeo save me; they're tryin' to tell me how to feel. 
This love is difficult, but it's real. Don't be afraid; 
we'll make it out of this mess. It's a love story 
baby just say 'Yes.' 

Oh. 
I got tired of waiting, 
Wondering if you were ever comin' around. 
My faith in you was fading 
When I met you on the outskirts of town. 
And I said, "Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone. 
I keep waiting for you but you never come. 
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think-" 
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said, 

"Marry me, Juliet. you'll never have to be alone. 
I love you and that's all I really know. 
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress; 
It's a love story 
baby just say 'Yes.' 

Oh, oh. 

We were both young 
when I first saw you...
