A lovestruck romeo sings a streetsuss serenade
Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made
He finds a streetlight that steps out of the shade
Says something like:
'you and me, babe, how about it?'
Juliet says:
'hey, it's romeo!
You nearly gimme a heart attack.'
He's underneath the window,
She's singing: 'hey laala my boyfriend's back!
You shouldn't come around here singing up at people like that.
Anyway, what you're 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're gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong, juliet?
Come up on different streets,
They both were streets of shame
Both dirty, both mean, yes
And the dream was just the same
And 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?
When 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 till I die
And there's a place for us
You know the movie song
When you're gonna realise 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
All I do is keep the beat and the bad company
All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
Juliet I'd do the stars with you any time
Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
I said I love you like the stars above
I'll love you till I die
And there's a place for us
You know the movie song
When you're gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong, juliet?
And a lovestruck romeo sings a streetsuss serenade
Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made
He find a convenient streetlight that steps out of the shade
Says something like:
'you and me, babe, how about it?'
