Love Story

Verse

We were both young when I first saw you

I was sitting in the back of shared study hall

The room was quiet, I was staring at my shoes

An eighth-grade nobody, trying not to look at all

You walked in, laughing with the varsity crew

Ninth-grade starter, yeah, the whole school knew your name

And I’m just the shy girl hiding in the back row

Wishing I could find the words to say

See you by the lockers, you’re saying hello

Little did I know...

Chorus

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 that'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"

Verse

So I sneak out to the bleachers to watch you play

You're running down the court, shining in the Friday lights

I’m in my oversized hoodie in the very top row

Hoping that you’ll look up and catch my eye

'Cause you were the captain, the crowd goes wild

And I’m the quiet girl who never smiles out loud

But you look past the popular girls in the stands

And you wave your hand

See you after the buzzer, you’re walking my way

Little did I know...

Chorus

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 that'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"

Verse

I got tired of waiting

Wondering if you were just too cool for me

My faith was fading

When I saw you walking in the library

And you said...

"Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to cry alone

I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress

It's a love story, baby, just say, 'Yes'"

Chorus

Oh, oh, oh

We were both young when I first saw you
