"Romeo and Juliet"

A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade

Laying everybody low with a love song that he made

He finds a street light, and he 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 and 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, and both were streets of shame

Both dirty, both mean, yes, and the dream was just the same

Then I dream your dream for you, now your dream is real

How can you look at me as if I were just another one of your deals?

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

I said, "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til I die"

And there's a place for us, you know the movie song

When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong?

Juliet

I can't do the talk like the talk on the TV

And I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be

I can't do everything, but I'd do anything for you

I can't do anything except be in love with you

And all I do is miss you, and the way we used to be

And 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

Juliet, when we made love you used to cry

I said, "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til I die"

And there's a place for us, you know the movie song

When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong?

Juliet

And a lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade

Laying everybody low with a love song that he made

He find convenient street light and steps out of the shade

And says something like, "You and me, babe, how about it?"
