Romeo & Juliet

A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade

Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made

Finds a streetlight 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 heart attack

He's underneath the window she's singing hey la my boyfriend's back

You shouldn't come around here singing up at people like that

Anyway what you gonna do about it?

Juliet the dice were loaded from the start

And I bet and you exploded in my heart

And I forget I forget the movie song

When you gonna realise 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 dream your dream for you and now your dream is real

How can you look at me as I was just another one of your deals?

Well 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

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 realise it was just that the time was wrong?

I can't do the talk like the talk on the TV

And I can't do a love song like the way its meant to be

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

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 the bad company

All I do is kiss you through the bars of Orion

Julie I'd do the stars with you any time

Juliet when we made love you used to cry

You said I love you like the stars above Ill love you till I die

There's a place for us you know the movie song

When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong?

A love struck Romeo sings the streets a serenade

Laying everybody low with a love song that he made

Finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade

Says something like you and me babe how about it?
