Lyrics for Song: Romeo And Juliet
Lyrics for Album: The Austin Sessions [2003]
See love struck Romeo hit the street on a serenade
And he's laying everybody low with a love song that he made
He finds a streetlight, steps out of the shade
Says something like, "You and me, baby, how about it?"
Juliet's gonna say, "Hey it's, Romeo
You nearly gimme a heart attack"
He's underneath my window, she's singing
"Hey la my boyfriend's back"
You shouldn't come around here singing up to people like that
Well, anyway what you gonna do about it?
Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
You said you love me like the stars above
You'd love me till you died
Well, there's a place for us and you know the movie song
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong?
We both came up on different streets
They both were streets of shame
Both dirty both mean 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?
Oh no, 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 know
You promised me thick and thin
Now you say, "Oh Romeo, yeah, I used to have a scene with him"
Oh Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
Used to swear like the stars above
Well, you'd love me till the day that we died
Well, there's a place for us, you know the movie song
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong?
I can't do the talk like they talk on 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
Juliet, all I can do is 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 in this rock 'n roll company
All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
Juliet, I'd do the stars with you any time
Oh Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
Used to swear like the stars above
Well, you'd love me till the day that we died
There's a place for us, you know the movie song
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong?
See a love struck Romeo hit the street on a serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Finds a streetlight steps out of the shade
Says something like, "You and me, baby, how about it?
You and me, baby, now how about it?
You and me, baby, now how about it?"
Well, Juliet, the dice were loaded from the start
And I bet and you exploded through my heart
Well, there's a place for us, you know the movie song
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong?
Yeah, now Juliet, the time was wrong
Oh, I know the time was wrong, yeah
The time was wrong, yeah
And I know the time was wrong, yeah
