Lyrics for Song: Romeo And Juliet
Lyrics for Album: Rites Of Passage [1992]
A love struck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
He's layin' everybody low, he's got a love song that he made
Well, he finds a convenient street light
He steps out of the shade and says something like
You and me babe, how about it?
Juliet says hey it's Romeo
He nearly gave me a heart attack, yeah well
He's under neath my window
Now she's singing, hey la my boyfriend's back
You shouldn't come around here
Singin' up to people like that
Oh anyway, whatcha gonna do about it?
And Juliet, the dice were loaded from the start
And I bet, and you exploded into my heart
And I forget, I forget the movie song
When are you gonna realize
It was just that the time was wrong, Julie
We both come up on different streets
And they were both the streets of shame
You know they're both dirty, both mean
And yes, even our dreams were the same
But I dreamed your dream for you
And now your dream is real so tell me honey
Now how can you look at me
As if I were just another one of your deals?
Now you can fall for chains of silver
And you can fall for chains of gold
You know you fall for pretty strangers
And the promises they hold
Well, you promised me everything
And then you, and then you promised me thick and thin
And now you just turn away, and say Romeo
I think I used to have a scene with him
Oh Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
You said I love you like the stars above
I'm gonna love you till I die
There's a place for us, I know you know this song
And now when you gonna realize
It was just that the time was wrong?
Julie, I'm so in love, so in love, yeah
But I can't do the talk like they talk on my TV screen
And I can't do a love song, not the way you sung it to me
I can't do anything, but I would do anything for you
I can't do anything except be in love with you
Yeah, now all I do is miss you and the way it used to be
You know, and all I do is keep the beat
I keep bad, bad company
And all I do is kiss you through the bars of this rhyme
When Julie I'd do the stars with you anytime
Oh Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
You said I love you like the stars above
I'm gonna love you till I die
There's a place for us, I know you know the movie song
One day we gonna realize
It was just that the time was wrong?
Julie, Julie, Julie
Well, this love struck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
Layin' everybody low, he's got a love song that he made
He finds a convenient street light
And he'll step out of the shade, and he'll say something like
You and me babe, how about it?
