Romeo and Juliet

[Verse 1]
A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
He find a streetlight, he steps out of the shade
He 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 going to do about it?"

[Chorus]
Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start
And I bet, when you exploded in my heart
And I forget, I forget the movie song
When you going to realize
It was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

[Verse 2]
Come up on different streets, they both were streets of shame
Both dirty, both mean, yes, and the dream was just the same
Then I dreamed your dream for you, and now your dream is real
How can you look at me as if I was 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"

[Chorus]
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 that movie song
When you going to realize
It was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

[Verse 3]
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 and 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

[Chorus]
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 going to realize
It was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

[Verse 4]
A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
He find convenient streetlight, he steps out of the shade
Says something like, "You and me, babe, how about it?"
