Romeo And Juliet
Zahl Lyrics

A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
Romeo, full of love, sings out loud in the streets to woo Juliet.

Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
His love song is so powerful that it emotionally affects everyone who listens to it.

Finds a street light, steps out of the shade
Romeo finds some light to illuminate himself and reveals his presence to Juliet.

Says something like, "You and me babe, how about it?"
Romeo asks Juliet to be his lover in a casual, streetwise manner.

Juliet says, "Hey it's Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack"
Juliet is scared and shocked by Romeo's sudden appearance.

He's underneath the window, she's singing, "Hey la, my boyfriend's back"
Juliet does not want to be seen with Romeo as she already has a boyfriend.

You shouldn't come around here, singing up at people like that"
Juliet warns Romeo not to sing in the streets as it could get him in trouble with other people.

Anyway, what you gonna do about it?
Juliet challenges Romeo and asks him what he plans to do now that she has a boyfriend.

Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start,
Juliet thinks that their love was pre-determined and that they never had a chance.

And I bet, then you exploded in my heart,
However, Juliet still fell in love with Romeo when she met him.

And I forget, I forget, the movie song
Juliet forgets the romantic songs she used to listen to and realizes that love in real life is more difficult and complicated.

When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?
Romeo believes that their love was doomed from the beginning because the timing was not right.

Come up on different streets, they both were streets of shame,
Romeo and Juliet grew up in different areas of the city, both of which were considered rough and undesirable.

Both dirty, both mean, yes and the dream was just the same,
Despite coming from different backgrounds, Romeo and Juliet had similar dreams of finding true love.

And I dreamed your dream for you, and now your dream is real
Romeo feels that he helped Juliet achieve her dream of being with someone she loves.

How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?
Romeo questions Juliet's true feelings for him and whether she sees their relationship as just another transaction.

Well you can fall for chains of silver, you can fall for chains of gold
Romeo warns Juliet that materialistic things and money can cloud one's judgment when it comes to true love.

You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
Similarly, Romeo warns Juliet about the danger of promise-breaking strangers.

You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin yeah
Romeo accuses Juliet of breaking her promises and not being there for him when he needed her.

Now you just say, "Oh Romeo, yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him"
Juliet admits to Romeo that she has moved on and is no longer interested in being with him.

Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
Romeo remembers how emotional and intense their lovemaking used to be.

You said "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you till I die"
Juliet promised Romeo eternal love and devotion when they were together.

There's a place for us, you know the movie song
Both Romeo and Juliet think that love can triumph over any obstacle as shown in the classic movie 'West Side Story.'

I can't do the talk like the talk on the TV
Romeo is not good at talking like the TV actors and presenters who can deliver romantic speeches with ease.

And I can't do a love song, like the way it's meant to be
Romeo is not good at singing a standard and commercial love song that everyone likes and agrees with.

I can't do everything, but I'll do anything for you
Despite his shortcomings, Romeo promises to do anything to prove his love for Juliet.

I can't do anything 'cept be in love with you
Romeo says that all he can do is to love Juliet with all his heart.

And all I do is miss you, and the way we used to be
Romeo remembers how their relationship was and misses those happy moments.

All I do is keep the beat, the bad company
To cope with the breakup, Romeo tries to keep himself busy and surrounds himself with bad company.

And all I do is kiss you, through the bars of a rhyme
Through his lyrics and poetry, Romeo expresses his desire to kiss Juliet again.

Julie, I'd do the stars with you, anytime
Romeo says that he would do anything with Juliet, even reaching for the stars and beyond.

Ah Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
Romeo remembers the special and emotional moments he had with Juliet in bed.

You said I love you like the stars above, I'll love you till I die
Juliet promised Romeo eternal love and devotion when they were together.

There's a place for us, you know the movie song
Both Romeo and Juliet think that love can triumph over any obstacle as shown in the classic movie 'West Side Story.'

When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?
Romeo believes that their love was doomed from the beginning because the timing was not right.

And a lovestruck Romeo he sings the streets a serenade
Romeo is still in love with Juliet and continues to express his love to her through songs.

Laying everybody low, with a love song that he made
His love song is so powerful that it emotionally affects everyone who listens to it.

Find a convenient streetlight, steps out of the shade
Romeo finds some light to illuminate himself and reveals his presence to Juliet.

And says something like, "You and me babe, how 'bout it?"
Romeo asks Juliet to be his lover again in a casual, streetwise manner.
