a love struck romeo
|
sings the streets a serenade
|
now he's laying everybody low
|
he's got a love song that he made
|
he finds a convenient streetlight
|
and he steps out of the shade
|
and says something like
|
"you and me, babe, how about it?"
|
|
juliet says "hey, it's romeo!"
|
"you nearly give me a heart attack!"
|
yeah well, he's underneath my window
|
now she's singing "hey-la, my boyfriend's back"
|
"you shouldn't come around here
|
singing up at people like that
|
ah anyway, whatcha gonna do about it?"
|
|
juliet
|
the dice were loaded from the start
|
and i bet and 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
|
julie
|
|
we both come up on different streets
|
and they both were streets of shame
|
you know they're both dirty both mean
|
yes and the dreams were the same
|
and i dreamed your dream for you
|
and now your dream is real
|
so tell me honey
|
now how can you look at me
|
as if i was just another one of your deals
|
|
now you can fall for chains of silver
|
and you can fall for chains of gold
|
you know you fall for pretty strangers
|
and the promises they hold
|
well you promised me everything
|
and then you promised me thick and thin
|
now you just turn away and say
|
"romeo, i think i used to have a scene with him."
|
|
ah juliet
|
when we made love you used to cry
|
you said "i love you like the stars above
|
gonna love you till i die"
|
there's a place for us
|
i you know this song
|
now when you gonna realize
|
it was just that the time was wrong
|
julie
|
|
but i can't do the talks like they talk on my tv screen
|
i can't do a love song not the way you sung them to me
|
i can't do anything but i would do anything for you
|
oh no i can't do anything except be in love with you
|
|
yeah now and all i do is miss you
|
and the way it used to be you know
|
and all i do is keep the beat
|
i keep bad, bad company
|
and all i do is kiss you
|
through the bars of a rhyme
|
when julie 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'm gonna love you till i die"
|
there's a place for us
|
i know you know the movie song
|
one day we're gonna realize
|
it was just that the time was wrong
|

"you and me, babe, how 'bout it?
