Taylor Swift - Love Story

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

I 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 try 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 oh



I got tired of waiting

wondering if you were ever coming around

my faith in you is 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, oh, oh

'cause we were both young when I first saw you
