Love Story
By Taylor Swift

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.
I see the lights;
see the party;
the ball gowns.
I see you make your way
through the crowd.
You 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 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."

So, I sneak out
to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet,
'cause we're dead if they knew.
So, close your eyes.
Let's 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 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."

"Romeo, save me.
They're trying 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 was 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.
Yes.
'Cause we were both young
when I first saw you.
