Intro: |
A love-struck Romeo |
Sings the streets a serenade |
Laying everybody low |
With a love song 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 to people like that |
Anyway, what you gonna do |
About it?" |
Juliet, the dice was loaded |
From the start |
And I bet when you exploded |
Into my heart |
And I forget |
I forget the movie song |
When you gonna realize |
It was just |
That the time was wrong |
Juliet? |
Bridge: |
Come up on different streets |
They're both |
The streets of shame |
Both dirty, both mean |
Yes in the dream |
It 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? |
Bridge: |
I can't do the talk |
Like the talk on TV |
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 |
And bad company |
Now all I do is kiss you |
Through the bars of a rhyme |
Juliet, 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 |
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? |
Bridge: |
And a love-struck Romeo |
Sings a street-suss serenade |
Laying everybody low |
With a lovesong that he made |
Finds a convenient streetlight |
Steps out of the shade |
He says something like |
"You and me babe, |
How about it?" |
Bridge: |
You and me babe, how about it? |
Bridge: |
