Love Story
Taylor-Swift Lyrics

We were both young when I first saw you
I first saw you when we were both young

I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I close my eyes and can vividly remember the past

I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air
I'm standing on a balcony enjoying the summer breeze

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
See everything that's happening - the lights, the party, and the ball gowns

See you make your way through the crowd
See you move through the crowd of people

And say hello
And you greet me with a hello

Little did I know
I had no idea

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
That you were like Romeo, throwing pebbles to get my attention

And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
My father warned me to stay away from you, like Juliet

And I was crying on the staircase
And I was on the staircase crying

Begging you, please, don't go
Begging you to stay, please don't go

And I said, "Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I said, 'Romeo, take me somewhere where we can be alone

I'll be waiting, all that's left to do is run
I'll be waiting, all we have to do is leave

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

It's a love story, baby just say yes
It's a love story, please say yes

So I sneak out to the garden to see you
So I sneak out to the garden to see you

We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
We keep quiet because we'd be in trouble if anyone found out

So close your eyes, escape this town for a little while
Close your eyes and let's leave this town for a little while

'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
Because you were like Romeo, and I was like the scarlet letter

And my daddy said "Stay away from Juliet"
My father told me to stay away from you, because of Juliet

But you were everything to me, I was begging you, please, don't go
But you were everything to me, and I begged you, please don't leave

And I said Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I said, 'Romeo, take me somewhere where we can be alone

I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
I'll be waiting, all that's left is for us to run away

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

It's a love story baby just say yes
It's a love story, please say yes

Romeo save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel
Romeo, help me out - they're telling me how to feel

This love is difficult, but it's real
This love is difficult, but it's real

Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this difficult situation

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

Oh, oh
Oh, oh

I got tired of waiting
I got tired of waiting

Wondering if you were ever coming around
Wondering if you'd ever come around

My faith in you was fading
My faith in you started to fade

When I met you on the outskirts of town
When I met you on the edge of town

And I said Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone
I said, 'Romeo, save me - I've felt so alone

I keep waiting for you but you never come
I kept waiting for you, but you never came

Is this in my head? I don't know what to think"
Is this all in my head? I don't know what to think

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said
He got down on one knee, pulled out a ring, and said

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

I love you and that's all I really know
I love you, and that's all I really know

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

It's a love story, baby just say yes
It's a love story, please say yes

Oh, oh,
Oh, oh,

Oh, oh
Oh, oh
