A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
ย
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 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 was loaded from the start
And I bet, then you exploded in 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
ย
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 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 'til I die"
There's a place for us, you know the movie song
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong?
Juliet
ย
I can't do the talks, like they talk on the TV
ย
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, the 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
You said, "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til I die"
There's a place for us, you know the movie song
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong?
Juliet
ย
And a lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
ย
Laying everybody low, with a love song that he made
Find a convenient streetlight, steps out of the shade
And says something like, "You and me babe, how 'bout it?"
"You and me babe, how about it?"
